You could also contact an agent and let them deal with the details regarding the children and the visa options that that implies. No insurance is required for the renewal on a Non 'O' visa.

They did not state what Non-O visa they have, so giving an amount is not correct in this circumstance. It could be for marriage, it could be for guardian, all have different amounts.

Every immigration office has their own requirements. You should go to your immigration office and ask them for their list for the extension you are seeking. I believe guardian of a child is 400 or 500k thai baht in a bank account, among other things.

There are 2 guardian visas though, one is the father of a half thai child, and the other is the parent of a foreign child attending school in Thailand. The requirements are a bit different.

Yes you can get a 12 month extension if you meet the requirements which do not include insurance

If you meet the requirements, you can apply. For just a basic non-O, there is no health insurance requirement. You should go to your immigration office and ask them for their handout for a 1-year extension based on whatever type of non-O visa you have.
