I hope someone can help me here please as I found so many contradicting information. I have a Thai visa (Non-O-A), which I used to first enter Thailand on September 16, 2024. A stamp in my passport granted me a stay until September 14, 2025, in accordance with the validity of my German international health insurance. The visa allows multiple entries. I left the country on February 24, 2025. I will re-enter on September 10, 2025. Can I re-enter with a new international health insurance policy valid for one year from Germany to obtain an additional year of stay, corresponding to the validity of the international health insurance policy, or does the health insurance policy have to be based in Thailand?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user seeks clarity on whether they can re-enter Thailand on a Non-O-A visa with a new international health insurance policy from Germany, after having originally entered Thailand with a valid insurance policy. According to various comments, the health insurance must meet specific criteria: it should cover at least 100,000 USD and include COVID-19 treatment. While insurance policies from foreign companies can be accepted, it is advisable to ensure the new policy aligns with Thai regulations. Re-entry must occur before the visa's expiry to extend the stay potentially for another year.
