noknmai Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 I want to apply for a non immigrant O visa from the UK with the intention to do a 12 month extension after arrival. Thai E-Visa want's me to prove insurance as shown in point 6 in the attached, any suggestions on the best company to purchase it from ? Also, item 8 on the list - not sure what document to provide ? I've thought about using a 60 day tourist visa but I was recently in Thailand on a 60 day TR + 30 day extension + 60 day Covid extension so I'm concerned that I may have a problem as I'll have been in country nearly 5 months out of the 6 month tourist limit per 12 months. Thanks in advance for any advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) You won't have an issue entering with a visa. You could obtain the non O in UK or enter with a tourist visa and obtain non O in Thailand. Do you have a Thai bank account in your name only? Edited May 9, 2022 by DrJack54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just worrying (probably unnecessarily) about being denied entry on a 60 day Tourist Visa as I've already had nearly 5 months in Thailand since early Dec last year.

It's an understandable concern, however these are covid times. Previous stay is not typical. I would be amazed if you were refused entry with a visa.
