Phuket Non Immgration O-A Retirement extension no health insurance honeymoon is over

[Kopitiam]

I am not sure whether someone has reported on this. I have not been coming to this forum as often ever since AseanNow has this new layout.

 

If you are still on O-A retirement extension in Phuket, the no health insurance required extension honeymoon is over. Phuket Immigration now requires the 3 million baht health insurance if you are extending your retirement stay based on your original Non-Imm O-A visa.

 

If you have existing insurance cover, good for you.  Otherwise, time to ditch the O-A and move over to Non-Imm O visa.

This probably should go to the visa forum to get some replies, but I thought it was always the same, applying for retirement visa from home country required health insurance, and subsequent extensions from inside the country needed that health insurance too...!?
