Do I need to show covid insurance to extend my Thai visa for another 30 days?
Another one . . .
If I want to extend my visa for another 30 days at Thai immigration, do I have to buy and show a new covid insurance? 🤔

OP@John *********
thanks. Can I get only 30 days insurance if my TR visa is 60 days?John **********
@Blaz ********
a tourist visa is 60 days and you obtain it before arrival in Thailand. Visa exempt you get for free at the airport on arrival and is good for 30 days. Both can be extended for an additional 30 days (no insurance requirement to extend)Blaz *********
OP@Stuart ********
my mistake. I mean normal Tourist visa is my option. I am not 50 yet to get OA 😃Stuart *********
@Blaz ********
We seem to have terminology issues. What visa have you got (or are getting) ? Visa on arrival is for specific nationalities and is only for 15 days. Visa exempt gives 30. A VOA is not extendable. A visa exemption is for 30 days.Stuart *********
@Blaz ********
yes. The only extension that requires insurance is for a OA entry.Stuart *********
@Blaz ********
For an OA extension you’d need a year. Your extension would only be done for the period of insurance if it’s shorter than a year.Blaz *********
OP@Stuart ********
So I have to buy 30 days for OA. Can I buy less and stay 30 days anyway?

@Stuart ********
Great to know! I have a 30 day visa exempt starting June 2nd and I thought I would have to buy another month's insurance in order to extend an additional month.

That’s a logical assumption. And there’s a clue. 😆
