If our applications are rejected for this reason, I assume we will be able to find different insurance cover and resubmit. And, in general terms, l also assume, or at least hope, that an application that is rejected will include an explanation as to why.
Personally, I'd rather do it the right way from the beginning and remove all these assumptions.Originally Posted by Oliver2
Telling ones insurance company that IP and OP coverage must be clearly described for immigration purposes should suffice. If the Company can't and won't do that, then I'd question the coverage myself and find another company..
That's normally what I'd do. However, Emirates provide insurance included in the cost of the ticket.
The insurance is proven to meet Thai requirements for the covid insurance on COE, but I'd forgotten that the O-visa has different insurance requirements.
I've avoided middle Eastern airlines like Emirates in the past, but these days the choice of flights is more limited. The combination of free changes, with no limit on extensions to the trip, free insurance and sensible flight times swung the decision.
The alternatives were KLM, who would not allow a later change of flight beyond 3 months and Swiss, who had an inconvenient early morning departure from LHR.
The "free" insurance lasts for the duration of the trip, which was, I thought, a big plus.
Unfortunately, "If the trip is extended after I take the outbound flight, they cannot extend the insurance".
This is a slight blow, as it would be unwise to start with a return flight that is beyond 90 days.
