Hi Alan. Bali, Vietnam, Thailand etc now require travel insurance with COVID cover. Do you have any recommendations regarding companies offering this product?
If you plan on traveling to Thailand over this period you will know that insurance against COVID-19 is a mandatory requirement and it seems that many other countries in South-East Asia are beginning to follow suit. In order to address this requirement, LUMA International has come to the rescue with a new regional travel insurance solution named the LUMA ASEAN PASS underwritten by Bao Long (A Vietnamese based insurance provider).
Policies are issued ONLINE and the process generally takes less than 5 – 10 mins. Broad details of the plan is as follows:
- Starts from 50 USD for regional trips, depending on the length of stay, and the insurance
- Meets all the requirements to legally enter the ASEAN region (starting from 20,000 USD Annual Limit covering Covid-19 and other medical expenses).
- The Insurance Certificate is accepted by immigration, embassies and airlines as meeting the COVID insurance requirements or entry.
- Applicants must be aged between 4 weeks to maximum 75 years old.
- Maximum period of insurance is 180 days.
- Coverage is provided during your policy period for regional or multiple trips within countries included in the zone of coverage (Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.).
