Can I extend my stay in Thailand for another year with a Non OA visa using health insurance?

@Sabi ****

nope wouldn't do anything

@Sabi ****

and it should have thai written on it that says that stamp was issued up until your insurance expires

AND

your eVisa should also have a remark that lists the expiration date of your insurance

The current entry stamp you're here on doesn't affect anything as far as getting back in, it's the validity of the VISA itself (which you say is good until Mar 19th 2025)

What messes you up as far as bouncing out and back to get a new year stamp is that single re-entry permit that is linked to the current entry you have, 🙁

You come back in BEFORE the 14th Mar 2025 passes and you'll get stamped in only UNTIL that date 😮

You gotta let that re-entry permit expire and then you can enter the country on the currently valid OA eVisa (with the proof of a new year insurance)

You'll need to leave Thailand and re-enter sometime between the 15th and 19th of March 2025 with a years worth of insurance.

@Sabi ****

did they give you a receipt? You either got really bad advice from that officer, or he's a 1000 baht richer.

@Sabi ****

correct (y)

Sorry, that was totally bad advice from bangkok immigration 🙁

The visa clearly says across from No of entries - multiple <- that means you can go in and out all you want for the validity of the visa and you would be stamped in for a year OR up to the validity of the insurance

Get a new year insurance policy, print it out, exit the country, come back AFTER this single re-entry expires but before the VISA itself does and you'll get stamped in for another year (or as long as that new policy is for up to a year)
