Non Immigrant O-A Question

[Koala123]

Hi,

 

i have a Non Immigrant O-A (one year 50+ visa). 

I have asked here before and just want to check if i got this right; 

My visa ends 19th of november-24. (I entered Thailand last november the 21th). I have not re-newed my visa, i got it last year. 

 

If i get my Health Insurance re-newed so it runs one more year and i enter Thailand before the 19th (can i enter on the 19th as well?) - will i get a new year “automatically”? 

Or is it up to the Immigration Officer when i arrive at the airport? And this is done at the normal Immigration Line at arrival? 

 

Is there anything more then Health Insurance i need to think about - anything more needed? 

 

Grateful for help

Correct, during this year though you will need a re-entry permit if you are leaving the country at all.

Yes enter while non O-A is still valid you will be stamped in for 12 months provided you have health insurance for that period. 

Personally I would not leave it till very last day.

Note that the 12 month permission of stay stamp is not a visa and to exit and reenter any time after Nov 19 would require you to purchase a reentry permit prior to leaving Thailand.
