Thais still need test & go (if they qualify, longer if not) but they don't need insurance

We do. Thailand Pass is purely to enter Thailand. Wether if we have a visa or not, or what particular visa, is a different matter.

I saw somewhere holders of elite visa don't need insurance. But I saw it when COE was still in place.

Who knows, goverment havent really clarified in interview with Richard Barrow the minister said 30 days, on official websites it says for intended length of stay.

There was a lady recently got Thailand pass on long term visa and submitted 30 days insurance and was accepted.

So try 30 days for now or contact elite office and see what they say
