I am married to a Thai. But I have been in the States for over a year... If I get the cov19 Insurance so I can enter back into Thailand. When the time comes for me to get an extension I will not need to show proof of Covid Insurance at that time?

they have a 60 day entry stamp from a single entry tourist visa so they do NOT need insurance to get either the regular 30 day extension or the 60 day covid one Benjamin ******

@Benjamin *****
Suggest that you check with immigration as I have read that medical insurance might be compulsory for all foreignersTod *********
@Dick *********
I think the operative words in your statement are "might be" <- which means at this time there is nothing of the sort in effect AT ALL
