Sorry Dr Jack54 if you got the feeling it was a joke, it was not, anyway it helped me and thank you again for your help.

I big thank you for all the help and your time folks. I highly appreciate. I guess from your comments, non O-A visa would be the way to go for me as I will be able to do the 2 trips under one visa and as my main concern was about health insurance, I will get a cheaper one with this visa as you suggested Sheryl. I could also get a multi-entry tourist visa but I want to avoid applying 2 visas one after another as I may stay only one month in France half Dec/half Jan, I don’t want to think about that in that period. Indeed BritTim I was a bit in a « pessimistic » mood and the reason was that I already got several tourist visa some years ago and border agents started to look at me as I was an « escroc », that was not a good feeling..

I see, so maybe I can try getting the non O multi-entry then..

Thank you @Ben, I did not know this visa, just checked.. Yes I'm actually 53. Well.. very easy to get, are you joking? Requirements are huge.. I don't have 1M$.. Thank you @Dr Jack54, ok got it about those visas, are you sure I can reapply .. for 10 years in that case?

Yes it may look ridiculous but I need to be 100% sure that each year (for the next 10 years) I will be allowed to stay in Thailand for 4 months and actually those 4 months will be 2 months Oct/Nov, then back to France in December and back to Thailand Fev/March. I need a multi-entry visa to be able to also move from Thailand to China and not need to get a new Visa, also from Thailand to France and be sure I will not be stopped at the borders. I first looked at O-A visa but was wondering if reapply 10 times is an option. Also a tourist 3 months visa can't be an option as I think if I come back to France in Dec, I need to wait 3 months to reapply for another visa (from my understanding). I also plan to buy a vehicle there and the Visa O-X is enabling me to do that (Don't know about others but I did not see any info about that). I worked in Thailand some years ago and got some money on a Thai bank so conditions are ok about the bank account amount requested. So I went to the conclusion that the O-X is the most flexible in my situation. My only concern was about Health insurance as it can be very expensive.

Hi folks, I'm searching for information about O-X visa requested health insurance. I plan to get this visa to travel from France to Thailand once a year, staying 4 months in Thailand and 8 months in France each year. This is what is requested: Thai medical insurance during their stay in Thailand (per the approval of the Office of Insurance Commission) and medical claims for outpatient must not be less than 40,000 Baht, for inpatient must not be less than 400,000 Baht. As I will only stay 4 months per year in Thailand I'm wondering if the gov wil accept a 4 months insurance or if it is requested that I get a full year contract. Any help would be greatly appreciated :) Cheers
