 |
|
Hi
We need to get some travel insurance for a trip to Thailand, any suggestions on where to look?
I remember before when I was on the road in Vietnam and my insurance expired, I had to take emergency insurance from my UK insurance company.
I'm assuming that as I'm a resident of Korea now I can use a Korean firm?
Any suggestions?
We fly on sat! |

| Yes you can use a Korean firm. At the airport before you pass through passport control there is an AIG stand that sells travel insurance to foreigners. You just need your passport and ARC card. |

Could you give a bit more info please  How much was it (roughly)? Do you remember which side of the building it was at (if you don't, don't worry.) Thank you. |

How long is your trip?
For one week it varies between 15K to about 22K, I think (?), depending on your premium.
There are many stands by the immigration check points - you can't miss them! |

| I also need insurance for my upcoming trip to India. But my flight leaves at 9am on a Saturday. Do you think those airport insurance companies will be open before then, around 7am? |
