Hello Addmis, I am holding a Non O-A Visa which expires on May 31st next year. I plan to fly home about 5 weeks to visit my mother. I am aware that I need a re-entry. Do I need to carry my health insurance policy to re-enter Thailand? I have a permanent place of residence that is also registered with immigration. my next 90 day report would be on August 9th. I would possibly fly on July 4th and come back on August 7th. Are other papers necessary? Thanks in advance for the team's help.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user holds a Non O-A Visa expiring on May 31 and plans to return to Thailand after a short trip home. They want to know if they need to carry their health insurance policy for re-entry, especially since they have a permanent residence registered with immigration. It's clarified that they will need a re-entry permit and possibly a Thai Pass, pending updates on entry requirements.

I am closing comments as the OP does NOT have an OA based extension of stay...

He has a Non O based retirement extension of stay .

To re-enter Thailand will be simple....

...He need a reentry permit...

...A Thai Pass may or may not be needed after July 1

...Watch the news.

Is this the first year of your OA visa?
