Seems you may be dealing with Jomitien. You using Bangkok Bank ?

So you are aware of obtaining 60 day stamp by entering prior to expiry of current visa. Good. They will stamp you in for 60 and you can obtain 30 day extension. After that it may be possible to border bounce for 30 day visa exempt entry. That can be extended by 30 days. You may be able to do that twice. Spending time out of Thailand is good advice.

Assume you are that if you exit and reenter just prior to expiry of your METV you will be stamped in for another 60 days and you can obtain 30 day extension to that entry.. Regarding further stay in Thailand you could do visa exempt land border entries. You are allowed 2 per calendar year. You might be able to milk out 4 months from those.

Avoid using term "bank letter" that refers to this https://aseannow.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=786616 Bank letter is just letter from bank that confirms you are the owner of the account and balance. Have never seen the photocopy of the "statement" in your OP. Kasikorn can provide you 12 months "Bank Statements" on day you apply. 200b. Bangkok bank take few days to do the same. Jomitien should accept 12 month bank statement showing monthly transfers from abroad. Perhaps immigration is asking for credit advice for some transfers to show they came from abroad.

Your reference to insurance comes from looking at a non O-A in the USA. You cannot obtain that in Thailand at immigration. @TheAppletons pointed out above. You can obtain a 12 month extension to your permission of stay. However that has financial requirements. Do you have a Thai bank account in your name only? Dont feel bad about not obtaining the non O-A as the insurance requirement continues for each annual extension. Many folk (retirement) have ditched the non O-A and obtained a non O. Here is a thread that outlines obtaining the 12 month extension. Ignore the "obtain non O from visa exempt entry" https://aseannow.com/topic/1311886-visa-exempt-to-retirement-extension-process-and-cost/

The OP is in Bangkok and I for one appreciate his report. Also the OP had a positive experience and reported accordingly. -

It does and appreciated. -
Just obtain the extension as you are doing next week and the expiry of that extension will be date of expiry of your current passport. You don't miss out on much time less than the full 12 months. When it's more eg 6 months the follow up question is ....when I obtain my new passport can I go to immigration and have the expiry date of extension changed? Answer:No
