Such a Hairy Guy Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Hello everyone, this time of the year again to renew our Non-O visa. We are fortunate enough that our embassy issues a 'certificate of income'. So because I want to make sure I dont miss any paperwork in this paperwork crazy country, I am reading there is a requirement for health insurance with coverage of 400,000 bahts. Am I misreading this? Is this new as we never had to produce insurance papers before.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanoshi Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 If you were apply for a new Non O Visa, based on retirement, then yes, the 400/40K Health Insurance would be a requirement. As it stands your Non O expired a long time ago and your extending your permission of stay granted from that Non O 90 day entry. An extension is a permit, not a Visa, therefore the Health Insurance doesn't apply to extensions of stay from a Non O entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Yeah you're exempt unless you started with an OA instead of an O. What a difference a little A makes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do people applying for new Non O retirement visas need health insurance? (Apologies if this question is daft in some way.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were applying for a new Non O Visa from a Thai Embassy, then yes the 400/40K Health Insurance applies, but it's only required to cover the 90 day period your granted on entry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
