Do I need to show proof of health insurance when re-entering Thailand on a Non-IMM O-A visa issued before October 2019?

I'm not sure that there's any distinction between a first or subsequent entry, I don't get that from the police order. And there are reports of people being challenged/denied on their first entry, although there are also plenty more getting stamped in without issue. I suspect this is down to inconsistencies on the IO level rather than some consistently applied master plan.

But that, at least, makes some sense to me. It means they accept the O-A visa with international insurance for a total of the 1st year (or the length of the insurance accordingly )

Australian, saying they left a week ago and when re-entering (Bangkok) had their health insurance validity bought into question. Sorry if it’s not that clear.

that's about as clear as mud :/

(y) good suggestions

Peter Forkes contact the insurance companies. They might consider you. Pacific Cross insures to age 75. It would be worth the call to ask if its possible at age 76. Good Luck . Please report back your findings.

On the websites of the Thai Ebassies.

Using the search feature on the left hand side of the page, I found this from Tod Daniel's post about an hour ago...

Peter Forkes then...pardon me.. I think you are foolish to not have the O-A.

The day will come when you seek to enter Thailand three times a year x 2 months each trip...and be denied.

The out of pocket cost of a basic O-A policy which meets the minimum requirements is lessened greatly if you choose a high deductible ...of 300,000 Thai baht...reduces the annual premium approx 50%. Keep your $$$ earning interest at home and net cost go you minimal... And have peace of mind entering and leaving Thailand as often as you do.

Look at Pacific Cross...with high deductible...

Peter Forkes but how many times in a year do you stay in Thailand?

That is an important question.
