ORIGINAL POSTER

Am I correct that the 90-day Non-O does not require health insurance and that there will be no insurance requirement when getting the annual extensions going forward?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquires whether the 90-day Non-O visa requires health insurance and if future annual extensions will also lack an insurance requirement. Responses confirm that no health insurance is needed, but it is advised to have one due to the high costs of medical care in Thailand.

You're right but it would still be à dam good idea to have one. Thaïland has an excellent médical système but it's anything but free. A friend of mine was hospitazed à few days ago for kidney stone (surgery), cost 140k thb and she was at hospital for only 2 days. Now imagine à car accident
