Do I need to buy new health insurance for my OA visa re-entry to Thailand, or can I extend my existing coverage?
If coming back to Thailand on OA visa before insurance end date do i buy new cover for one year for COE again or just extend the insurance after re entry. Thanks.
Answer summary
When returning to Thailand on an OA visa, it's advisable to start a new health insurance policy upon arrival rather than extending your existing coverage, as your stay will only be valid until the current insurance expiry date.

You'll only be stamped in up to the date of expiry of the insurance, so it's better to start a new policy from the date of your arrival, so you get the full year

Shouldn't you ask your insurance company if you can extend it? You didn't even say which insurance company you're using.
