Nomad Health Insurance. Nomad Travel Insurance. This video goes over a Safety Wing review as I get set to renew my Thailand Health Insurance. Cost is given for my family of three. If you are looking for digital nomad insurance, this company covers people worldwide.
This video is NOT sponsored by SafetyWing. I am responding to a request from one of my subscribers to detail what I do for health insurance as an expat in Thailand.
If you have a better solution, please post it in the comments!!

You're one of the best Vloggers in SE Asia, love your delivery--keep em coming!!!
Wow, thank you!
Definitely a welcome and solid fresh voice and perspective in the Thai scene! Keep them coming!
@@hillbillyinparadise thanks a ton Tim!
Chris my wife and I love your videos and they have become inspiration for us to move to Thailand. If you haven’t already, can you post a video on how you were able to make the transition (ie. quit your job, sold everything, convince your spouse). I hope I’m not asking too much. Thanks!
Good info! You are making a nickel now... And 25K subscribers soon!
I love all your videos. One thing I noticed in this video is the Nomad insurance website is quoting you for 4 weeks of coverage. This equals to 13 payments a year. Not 12 monthly payments as the other insurance you compared it too.
Be sure to calculate correctly for the entire year when comparing other insurance plans.
Chris - Can you refresh this topic? It's now about 2 years old and would be good to know updated info as we enter the "Post Covid" era.
Excellent. Thank you. Very informative.
nice. great information. i've been looking into the same company for expat/nomad insurance as well!
Very useful information!!
Great information!! 👍🏻👍🏻
This is very good information that I will keep for reference. Have a request and wondering if you have any plans to provide this information...or a link to a previous video with this info. Getting down to the nitty gritty, how much are other health related costs? Such as prescriptions, over the counter medications, dental, and optometry compared to the US? Would be interested because that is a consideration to include in the cost of living in Thailand.
Are you and your family also covered for the Covid-19 situation? Thank you for the information, thanks for your help. Happy New Year to you and the family !!!
Very informative again 👍👍👍
Great info. Looking forward to your vacation. Don't forget to celebrate Canada Day wherever you are.
F Canada Day.....there's bigger things going on THAT day birday! haha.
Planning to drink a few Labatt 50’s that day. Not sure why, but it seems to feel right.
I think it would be useful to look into the subject health insurance more extensive. I am with Thai Vivat but what I saw happening to my friend who is also with Thai Vivat is scary. As long as you are young or never need the insurance. they all are good.
PS: I like your channel. I live in Bangkok 20 years now and you are doing a good job. If you need new ideas... contact me.
Hey chill man, another perfect video really pleasure to watch.. wish u could also review the claim process and if it really works as promised as that's the most important part and I know that insurance companies in general aren't the easiest to get reimbursed from (though I know uve not used.it yet) maybe make part 2 in the future if ull ever use it (hopefully not!) Or better just find learn from other people who did used it.. anyway thanks again!
thanks for the insurance info it helped alot.
thank you for a very useful video and the information was very helpful 😎
Glad it was helpful!
Be aware that this is a travel insurance, not a health insurance. I made a claim, and after 2 months I got the message that they deny my claim!
That how they work. 5 minutes to register, eternity to get paid, if you succeed
Thanks Chris !!!
Hey Chris, and everyone else...maybe this info will help:, I have residency in Saudi Arabia and basic government health care comes with that. For travel around the world, and monthly trips across the bridge to Bahrain, I use AXA, but I register with AXA as a Saudi resident; its less than 250 usd for one full year inc America. In fact there are no restrictions on travel. The only downside is my summer vacations are usually a day or two over the standard fixed 90 day single vacation cap. Yeah I know it's not the same deal as you are talking about in your video, but it may help someone somewhere figure something out. Cheers.
that sounds cheap and nice dude.
If you're going to be staying in Thailand long term, the cost is still low based on what you show. In Netherlands (I'm US expat), it's only about 120 EUR (so 130 USD?). In the US, it costs a ton more. So frankly, spending 150-200/mo for healthcare in Thailand is quite ok as long as you have "western money". It's a comparative bargain all things considered.
Insurance aside how is the medical care in Thailand? Im considering what to do when i decide to retire and if i choose another country I'll be in my mid/late sixties.
Im in good health but may need some orthopedic care. Its hard to imagine living in another country than the USA where whatever you need is available.
Say you end up in the hospital do you have to pay upfront and get reimbursed or will they take the insurance directly?
Chris did you end up switching to the other Thai coverage program?
Yo hey man , I'm about to purchase this and apply for my thai pass , is this defs one that is accepted by the Kingdom? Waiting on ur reply before I buy cheers mate
Hi Chris!! Thanks for video. Quick question.
Can I use Safety Wing to enter Thailand? And, very important, in case of an accident (without fault) do they pay in advance the cost of the hospital / operation? Thank you in advance :)
No, they don't. It doesn't work in Thailand
Thank you for the video. To expensive if your over 56 nearly 150 aud per month. But thanks any way. Cheap for young people.
Hello, after applying this will i receive the letter of insurance to apply coe certificate??
Thanks be checking Around for medical health insurance I’m still covered now via my jobs but after retirement a few years I’ll be looking. I’m in the states will be retiring soon to Thailand thanks
Nice George! Gotta love the plans to retire in Thailand! Good luck and hope it happens sooner than later for ya!
Retired Working For You hopefully sooner. Hopefully I’ll be able to come in September for a 3 week vacation thanks looking forward to more videos and information enjoy
@@george58313 Fingers crossed man!!!
Retired Working For You yes sir I missed April’s visit wasn’t happy. I’ll be there soon enough lol.
I am a doctor who traveled to the Philippines 2 months ago and was hospitalized and when I wanted to apply for my SAFETYWING insurance, they told me that I had to pay them more money so that they would return the deductible to me. It's crap life insurance, I would never buy from them again. Be careful, it might be a scam.
Soy un doctor que hace 2 meses viajo a filipinas y estuve hospitalizado y cuando quise aplicar mi seguro SAFETYWING me dijo que tenia que pagar a ellos mas dinero para que me regresaran el deducible. Es una porqueria de seguro de vida, jamas volveria a comprar con ellos. Tengan cuidado tal vez es una estafa.
I realize you aren't on a retirement visa (based on what you said your age is) but I'd imagine many of your viewers are interested in retirement visas -- have you researched whether or not the insurance you are suggesting in your video satisfies Thai rules for holders of Thai retirement visas?
I have not researched that specific point yet as I am on a different visa. I'm actually researching now for a future video i plan to do summarizing all Thai Visa options and will try to include this detail when I do that video....
How much for a fella just got 1st Retirement visa 50 years young.i know you've kindly told us but would like comments and suggestions from cheaper insurance 👍🏴🇺🇸🇹🇭
Thanks for this very informative and affordable health insurance that you share. Its a good idea for everyone who is looking for an affordable health insurance that would not cost as much.
Many thanks and stay safe! God bless you!
CAN i use safety wing to enter to thailand about the covid insurance?
You cannot buy and pay at once for 3 months? Do you know?
Your coverage is for 250000$ is this the Thailand requirement amount?
Chris - Do you still use Safety Wing? Selling everything and headed to Thailand in Jan and need to get insurance sorted. Was wondering if you had found a better solution over these last 3 years...Thx mate
funny you should ask, i have a whole video about this coming out within a week. stay tuned for the detaiils but yes, i do still use safety wing. just a different product now. i will explain it all in the video that is coming out very soon.
@@RetiredWorkingForYou Many thanks mate. I should have known you were on top of it. Cheer...Huck A.
By the way I use insurance company from my origin country and it cost me $30 a month (can get up.to $60 for older people) include everything and I did used.it once and got.it.all.back eventually
Wow that is pretty solid man.
Does this cover covid? The required amount for visa purposes?
Yes, but they will not cover spending quarantine in a hospital in case if you get a positive test upon arrival. They only covers symptomatic COVID.
No physical required?
no they didn't require a physical.
Can I use this service to cover the medical insurnace requirement needed to enter Thailand ?
Safety Wing has a limitation on age, I can't use them.
They now cover cancer treatment
Safety Wing is full of Shite, I got this insurance after watching your video and when things went wrong they didn't want to know me. Avoid this insurance agency. You will just lose your money.
Ooot in a Boot.
WHAT ABOUT: AXA,or ALIANCE or PAZIFIC Prime or LMG and many more your Nomade Insurance is a SCAM
DON'T buy this insurance for Thailand. Local hospitals such as Bangkok hospital, don't accept it. You can only file a claim for reimbursement, which will take around 40 days to process. So, in any case you will need to prepare a pile of cash for emergency purposes. Simply, NOT A CHOICE for Thailand. Please check the information next time before posting it. People may get in trouble
