Do I need to adjust my health insurance before returning to Thailand on a Non-O Retirement visa?

Non-O Retirement Visa Health Insurance Requirements Re-entry Permit Thailand Immigration Visa Regulations COVID-19 Coverage

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello,

I am currently on the Non-O Retirement visa which was extended for 1 year. I had received that visa in Thailand. I have a single re-entry permit. The health insurance was not required when I applied for that visa. HOWEVER I do have a health insurance with April with coverage up to 1 million baht (30K USD).

I plan to visit Cambodia for 1 week in August. Then return to Thailand using my re-entry permit. My retirement 1 year extension will expire on November 22nd.  My health insurance will expire in September 10.

In order to successfully re-enter Thailand .... my questions:

Do I need to increase my health insurance to $100k USD (3 million baht)?  This requirement is part of new retirement visa application for entry in to Thailand. 

Do I need to extend my health insurance until at least November 22nd (the day my current NON-O extension expires)?

Will I need a letter from April specifically stating about COVID-19 coverage?

Thanks in advance for your helpful responses.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user, holding a Non-O Retirement visa valid until November 22, is inquiring if they need to adjust their health insurance to meet the new requirement of $100,000 USD coverage for re-entry to Thailand after traveling to Cambodia, and if they need to extend their insurance until their visa expiration. A comment suggests that no changes are necessary regarding health insurance, emphasizing that only a Thai Pass is required for entry, which may be abolished from July 1.

Simple answer...NO ..

You do not need to do anything with your health insurance.

All you need to do to enter Thailand is to have a Thai Pass...

And that is proposed to be done away with effective July 1.
