I'm going through the form for 50+ O-A visa (long stay) Do I have to buy 2 insurance covers??
Answer summary
For the 50+ O-A visa in Thailand, you do not need to buy two insurance covers. You can choose either a foreign insurance provider, which must fill out the required form, or go with one of the approved Thai carriers listed on the relevant website.

I was just looking at the screenshot posted by the OP - hasn't the Insurance requirement dropped to about 440k Baht yet? I thought it was going to be dropped to that amount in September or October this year. Perhaps another 'TiT' thing that's delayed or won't happen 🤔

not a peep about any of the mid-term or long-term parts of the big proposal. The only things that changed were the short-term items which were visa exempt to 60 days and the DTV visa, and a couple of other minor things.
