A querie. On changing from a O A Visa to a O Visa
I understand you have to leave the country come back as a Tourist Visa then get the extra 2 month extension
Then you can apply for the O Visa
Things may have changed
But I don't need to know about this
My question is
A O A Visa you need Medical Insurance
If you change to a O Visa
Immigration look at your old Visa
Then say you need Insurance
Can some confirm that you do not have to have Medical Insurance or have to have Medical Insurance
I believe this only applies, when some has had a previous
O A Visa including yearly extensions
When getting a O Visa
Sorry for long post
As I wanted to be specific on what I am asking
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the requirement of medical insurance when changing from an O-A visa to an O visa in Thailand. Participants clarify that if you leave the country and then return on a visa exempt entry (not a re-entry permit), you can apply for a 90-day Non-O visa without needing the mandatory health insurance that applies to O-A visas. There are no additional insurance requirements simply due to the history of holding an O-A visa; however, current entry requirements do mandate COVID insurance when entering the country.
