Is this correct???

For one thing that is not a official website note is a .com site not a .go.th site and there is this at the bottom of the page.

"This is NOT the official website of the Thai Embassy." It was set up by law firm and has a lot of incorrect misleading info.

The answer to you question is no it is not correct.

OP

Apologies for posting the link to the “ Thai Embassy Website “, my intention was to give you a general idea of the Mandatory Insurance requirements before Joe or Peter could come along with more reliable advice.

Sorry if this caused any confusion.

I have GEHA U.S. federal health insurance and have contacted them for a policy statement to meet the Thai Outpatient 40K baht and Inpatient 400K baht requirement.  Would this suffice? 

A policy statement might not work. You need a signed (3 signatures) and stamped "Foreign Insurance Certificate". I have attached the form.

Immigration will only accept insurance from a company on the the list for OA visas.

Only embassies and official consulates will accept that certificate.

Just this last Tuesday I renewed my Retirement Visa using the 65K baht per month option, I had the amounts from my Transferwise statements for each month for the past 15 months and I had the kind lady at my Bank draft a letter stating that every month these amounts were deposited for Immigration purposes. Simple letter, took her a few minutes to make up using the info I provided. Getting the 1 year extension was a breeze, and since there is amnesty until the Sept. 23, they even made my extension valid through Sept 23 2021. I showed no proof of insurance. No letter from the lazy folks at the US Consulate.

Hi Megascott,

Thanks for the report.

You wrote you applied for the 1-year extension of stay of your Non Imm O Visa for reason of retirement on Tuesday 11 August, and that the IO provided you with a permission to stay till 23 September 2021.

Two questions:

1 - What was the expiry date of your permission to stay?

2 - At which IO did you apply?

as that requires that you transferred +800K with foreign origins proven to your personal thai bank account

Not that this has any impact on the current discussion, but believe proof of foreign origin is when you apply for a conversion, not an extension.....

HI Jim.

Yes, you are correct. Proof of the foreign origins of the 800K is ONLY required when applying in-country at your local IO for the 90-day Non Imm O Visa for reason of retirement.

It is not required to provide proof of foreign origins of the 800K when applying for the 1-year extension of stay.

Note: When applying for the 90-day Non Imm O Visa for reason of marriage (or the 1-year extension for such reason) and using the 400K funds-in-bank method, no need to provide evidence of the foreign origins of those funds.
