Yes. Sorry Ubonjoe posted twice by mistake. And thanks for your good advice once again.

A bit late to be sure the visa is granted! Ubonjoe has the best answer below

I'm applying for a non O 90 day single entry family visit ( Thai spouse) on the e visa website. My country of residency is France. I did this successfully at the end of last year. No demand for any insurance cover. That came at the Thailand Pass application. This time the online application asks for evidence of 100,000 US$ Covid insurance for 90 days. I don't get it. I understood that was for an OA visa. Today it's asking for this although clearly states I'm applying for a non O. I thought that the required Covid cover now was only for US$ 10,000. Should I just buy that and upload the certificate with fingers crossed? There seems no way to contact them to ask if this is right. And I haven't been able to find this bare level of cover so far. The max seems to be 50,000 with Luma. I'm 70 with some pre existing conditions now and wider travel insurance is tricky and expensive. Entering at Suvarnabhumi on 15 July. So I believe no Thailand Pass needed by then. Please can anyone advise me?

Extraordinary! First they want to plot our every move for the last 2 1/2 years, then they suspend the TM 6 ( I've always wondered what they do with them anyway) and now this! Hope it makes it to The Royal Gazette before the PM has a change of heart. I'm returning on 15 July anyway.

The UK has already stopped handing out lollipops really. Cancer patients still usually get first class treatment very quickly but if you need a hip replacement or surgery for a prolapsed bladder the wait is long, very long. Around 2 years. Some friends have decided to go private but need to raise over £20k between them to do so. And a returning long absent Brit expat will not immediately get back in to the system be it NHS or for benefits. Need to establish " habitual residence" at a specific address. At least 3 months, up to 6, to do that.
