John Gooding  likes to know:

For those of us who came here on O-A some years ago and extend stay annually here, are any immigration offices asking for insurance or are we 'grandfathered' as it were?

Answer summary

Holders of the Non Immigrant O-A visa are not grandfathered regarding the new health insurance requirement. All individuals applying for an Extension of Stay using the O-A visa must provide proof of health insurance that meets specific criteria.

I have placed the TOPIC

"Conversion of an O-A to Non O"..for your reading.

Click on it to learn how it can be done. But this cannot be done at this time as all Thai borders are closed. It requires you to leave and reenter Thailand with a Non O, tourist visa or visa exempt entry to complete the conversion.

And you will have to meet the financial requirements for your new Extension of Stay with money in a Thai bank as prescribe.

No you are NOT grandfathered.

If you wish to extend your current OA at your local Thai Immigration office you will need proof of health insurance which meets the requirements.

The new requirement of health insurance does not have a grandfather ruling. Every person who applies for an Extension of Stay with the Non Immigrant O-A visa as basis needs the health insurance.
