Do I need insurance coverage for my return to Thailand after visiting Australia on a non-immigrant O extension?
Hi all. I have a question which may not be related to a visa advice but would appreciate any advice you can provide.
I am currently living in Thailand with non immigrant type O extension (retirement) for the last 4 years and I'm planning to go back to Australia to visit my family (after 3 years).
My question is : do i need insurance cover for when i return to Thailand?? I would need to get a Thailand pass before i return here which requires insurance for a minimum of US$ 50000 but do this apply to me or only for tourists.??
Thanks in advance for any feedback

Yes when you seek to return to Thailand from your visit to Australia...
You will need a Thailand Pass
And meet all its requirements including $50,000 health insurance which covers medical care of COVID.
IF you are fully vaccinated you could enter the Test N Go entry plan.
And before you leave Thailand be sure you have a REENTRY PERMIT in your passport to reenter Thailand. Cost is 1,000 Thai baht at Thai Immigration office.

Yes you do need the insurance cover. I'm assuming you've already got health insurance cover in Thailand, it may suffice for the Thailand Pass
