Well this all depends on the question I've been posting above countless times. No confirmation from anyone yet. I guess I can only find out next week when I go there myself since there seems to be no answer to the insurance question. For sure not going to buy another 10,000b covid insurance extension just for a 90 day extension.. 

To begin with, I guess no one can really “confirm” that. The only person that can confirm with you is the officer vetting your documents in Nonthaburi. Once the officer is happy, whichever means you can try, some argue ( yes I saw some just argue their way through ), some tame ones like me just ยอมรับ ( accepts ) with the brightest ครับผม smile, pay and leave that building with your visa extension in hand and on your merry ways without looking back.
 

Please come back here and share us your latest findings, I’m sure what I’d said previously isn’t accurate anymore. Well, we’re in LOS.

What I doi nto know is if someone can use a foreign policy to meet that requirement for the entire STV period (i.e. 9 months) or would be required to take out a local policy to extend in country. Anyone?

If you’re looking to extend your STV visa, I guess it’s a matter of an argument with the Immigration Officer. Without Thai wordings in your foreign insurance policy, it’s less convincing.

Thanks for this 'first hand' report of STV-extension requirements straight from the IO where you applied.

But some comments on the above.

1-2-3-4 > is straightforward

5 > no need to get hold of that beforehand, as IO will provide you with one just to be signd

6-7 > sounds redundant that they want both the ASQ certificate letter and on top of that some proof that you actually stayed there

8 > I have strong doubts whether it is an actual official requirement to get once again a covid-19 100.000 US $ coverage insurance - I suspect that Nonthaburi IO made that up, as the covid-19 insurance is ONLY needed for the period of your initial permission to stay

9 > STV is a Tourist Visa, when you apply for it you need to show a booking of the place where you will be staying for the full period.  As it is a Tourist Visa, those entering on an STV do this on a hotel-booking site where they can cancel for free (which tourist wants to be confined for 3 months at same place).  But when applying for the STV-extension you need a 'rental contract' paid in advance for at least 3 months?

 

I suspect that Nonthaburi IO simply imposed the STV-application requirements, also for the STV-extension.  Surely the covid-19 insurance should not be required, and also the rental agreement requirement is ridiculous.

But Nonthaburi IO have a reputation of being the roguest of rogue IOs and making up requirements on-the-fly.

With regards to 9, the IO didn't ask me for proof of payment.

And for 8, another friend of mine on STV too, he was asked to show the receipt of insurance payment. That didn't happen to me. 
 

Well, good luck.

I was in Nonthaburi to extend my STV visa. Here's what the officer asked

1. Copy of passport

2. Copy of TM6

3. Copy of STV visa page on your passport

4. TM7, use the last updated one or get it from Immigration Office. With a photo affixed.

5. STM 2. Declaration that you're aware about overstay and the penalties.
6. ASQ certificate letter stating that you've completed 14 days quarantine.

7. Some kind of proof that you indeed stayed at the ASQ, i produced my ASQ hotel receipt ( room charges )
8. Health Insurance showing coverage amount, line by line items in details of IP, OP, Covid coverage amount.
9. Rental. To state clearly rental period when to when, at where, 4 signatures either passport or Thai ID at the end of agreement ( the usual standard contract ). If the rental's address is in Bangkok, you can only extend visa in Bangkok. Rental period should cover at least 3 months more.

And sign at every page.

i have a number of quotations specifically catered to STV. It's a personal thing when it's come to insurance policy, and especially 400k IP,  40k OP. I'll PM you.

@5ilver yes, just STV. You might want to be cautious on the wordings though, traveling against a governmental advisory is sinful ( to some ). Only an airline ticket is attached.

yup, gotta read the long list of the things they wanted as if it's an examination. It's a careless write-up, messy indentation and poorly worded.  

@5ilver An update, it's (d) category that was selected and submitted a request to do pre-departure test, stated reason as STV, and it was approved within hours by the Ministry. Go to any clinic to do pre-departure test, collect all necessary documents, and to the airport.

Thai embassy Singapore has just today if i am not wrong, tweaked the requirements. Added more AND OR clauses, even more stringent to fulfil a STV. 

5ilver, i am not sure though. Some of us that I know, is about to submit an STV application. We're coming to it. 

I think we will fit in the last category, others. Will update here. 

Quote

d. Travel related to education, compassionate reasons, or otherwise – the Ministry of Health by completing this form. Successful applicants will be notified via the email registered in this form.

I agree, rosst. That's why the 3 fingers.

That's right, 5ilver. At least 5 working days to get a COC.

Update from the embassy. Nope, no alternatives apparently. They need something straight-out from the police.

5ilver, that's the confusing part. I am making sure my application won't be delayed by any chance, I have to make all and every confirmed bookings including ASQ, whatever insurances needed, a confirmed air ticket in my visa application. You can imagine the downstream impact if the visa application is not granted, or just filed in their in-tray for the longest time. Checked and confirmed with a call to the embassy, it's also stated clearly in the embassy's website too. 

Well, I just came back from clinic to certify that I don't have those diseases. The GP looked at me, possibly thinking which era we're in now, what kind of archaic document he was about to sign. I can only smile for on behalf of the Land of Simile.

Thanks Ubonjoe

You mean which Thai Embassy? Thai Embassy in Singapore.

Well, it is a self-declaration and it's legal binding. 

One of the eligibility of the Thai embassy states as follows, I can't wait to get a report from both my country of citizenship and my current country of residence. It will takes 2 months! 

Does a statutory declaration works? I was asked by my lawyer all kinds of law jargons which I am not able to understand. The troubling part is affirm my declaration to who? To a Commissioning of Oath or the Notary Public? How would the embassy use this SD?

1.3 Applicant must have no criminal record in Thailand and the country of the applicant's nationality and residence
