Interested to hear any first-hand reports of people entering Thailand at an international airport who have consecutively been permitted to stay in the Kingdom via extensions of stay (for the purpose of retirement) that were originally based on a Non-Immigrant OA visa issued prior to 31 October 2019.

Are airport immigration officers requiring people in the retirement category I mentioned above to provide a certificate verifying they have a medical insurance policy that meets the 400,000 THB outpatient/40,000 THB inpatient coverage from one of the 12 approved Thai Insurance Companies?

Answer summary

There are mixed reports from individuals entering Thailand on a Non-Immigrant OA visa regarding the requirement of a medical insurance certificate. Some were asked about their health insurance status, while others were processed without additional checks.

If you read many posts here...reports are MIXED. With some being admitted with questions about health insurance and others stamped in as usual for their O-A policies.

Lets wait a while longer and see just what does in fact happen in weeks and months ahead.

Thank you for your good question.
