Can I Buy Separate Outpatient Insurance for OA Visa Renewal in Thailand?

Hi Karen I work for Pacific Cross Health Insurance based in Bangkok. You will need to have the inpatient and outpatient with the same company as they will require to see it on the Visa Insurance certificate. Pm me for more details.

A good friend of mine - back in early November 2019 went to the LA Thai Consulate. He presented his application for an O-A Visa, paid the fee and presented his proof of health insurance. He gave the Consulate officer a copy of his Insurance Policy which was a year long Travel Insurance policy purchased on the Internet for $110. The Officer looked at it and said he would have to have the Big Boss upstairs take a look. The Big Boss did review it by Internet search. Checked out the company - policy wording and coverage. Being satisfied the Big Boss approved it. My friend got the big O-A sticker in his passport. He entered Thailand in late November - stamped in for one year.

your other choice is to "break the chain" of extensions from the O-A, get a new Non-O visa and then a yearly extension from that seeing as extensions from O visas don't need insurance.

If your looking towards insurance for extension purposes, you need to have one of the policys from the link Todd has posted above

since you are asking for a renewal of your O/A omitted stay, only the 12 companies listed on the tgia insurers list, are accepted for an extension. And their policies all include both outpatient and inpatient already

nope, you carry the complete thai insurance from one of the 13 approved providers AND it has to be good for the entire year you're extension is valid for or you don't get the next extension.

Pacific Cross will sell you a 300K baht deductible policy that meets the requirements.

here's the link to the companies you need to use:
