I DONT know. But I DO KNOW  better than to blindly believe interpretations by others here that are just as in the dark about what she meant as I am.

Is it a habit to continually comment on something you don't know.

It was a poor choice of word ….. end of, your reading to far into her comment.

Folks are becoming paranoid they'll be forced to take Medical Insurance for extensions at local Immigration offices and that is not what was proposed.

 

The proposal brings the requirements for the long stay O-A Visa applications into line with the already existing long stay O-X Visa, which requires Health Insurance.

So what? It's also a word that has been commonly used by expats, immigration officers, visa agents, and the "press" here to indicate EXTENSIONS done in Thailand. 

Where is the certainty about this coming from exactly?

It doesn't add up.

But the word RENEWAL was used and you haven't provided any convincing evidence that you know for certain what was meant by it.

Thus -- UNCERTAINTY.

lol! Unlike you, I didnt read anything into her comment. I pointed out that I DIDN'T know what she meant by it and neither did anyone else here. No one said theyd be forced for extensions. They WONDEREDif they would. You on the other hand believe you KNOW exactly what is being proposed. Lol

...Incidentally, I apply for a new extension, I can't renew it.

Yes, you can renew an extension of stay.

 

One dictionary definition is "extend the validity of something"

I don't expect you to believe me, but UJ, the press, Thai Health have all stated the proposal only applies to new applications of an O-A Visa.

As an O-A can only be applied for in a Country of where your a citizen or have permanent residency, then it doesn't apply to those visiting local Immigration offices.

 

Do you think it's a conspiracy by the Thai Government to fool us.

I think I want an explanation of the use of the word RENEWAL which pretty much everyone that has been following visa matters in Thailand knows is a very common way to refer to EXTENSIONS. Correct usage or not isn't the point. You aren't capable of addressing that except to put on a bluff show of total certainty when there isn't grounds for that as yet.

Yes, you extend the permission of stay.

It's a new application for the extension stamp though.

Not true! They also referred to a "renewal". We don't know for a certainty  what that means. Neither do you.

And he is absolutely 100% correct.

as YOU interpret it. I will wait for an interpretation by someone with a bit more authority in these matters than you.

See you Thailand. I have a lot of money and zero baht/dollars will be coming your way.

Well in good old Blighty, it would mean replace old with new.

'I need to renew my Passport'.

'My passport renewal application was returned'

 

'Renewal' is a related term of 'renew'.

As a noun 'renewal' is the act of renewing.

As a verb 'renew' is to make something new again, or to restore to freshness or original condition.

Well, you don't seem to know what the thai official meant by the term renewal and what it means in Britain is of no use to me in regard to the subject at hand so I guess I'll have to find someone who DOES KNOW! Thanks for your less than satisfactory assistance.

You're playing games again.

Why play dumb?

There is a CONTEXT here. 

We know for a fact that the use of the word renewal is very commonly used in Thailand to mean EXTENSIONS.

Guess you'll have to e-mail Saowapa Jongkittipong who made the statement.

She might tell you she used the word 'renewal' as a noun, meaning when 'renewing'.

Now your being absolutely ridiculous.

I've given explanations not of my own, but from a website.

 

Is this another of your 'what if' conspiracies.

 

The term 'renewal' is often used in the UK, meaning something needs replacing with new.

Contracts quite often use the word 'renewal' which relates to the period a contract needs to be renewed.
