Is AXA Thailand health insurance suitable for obtaining an O-A visa?

@Gabriel ********

you don't need it for a NON O. However once here ask

Yep I got it, cheap. Suggest you get the OX visa though, 5 yr hassle free

I have AXA based on a non OA, it's not the best coverage but it is cheap and it makes applying easy. I have had it 3 years and have had an operation which they covered with no problems.

Another option....get a nonO (does not require insurance) fly to thailand and get a local insurance

You’re talking about the AXA EasyCare Visa used by foreigners for obtaining an OA visa. Yes, it works. I used it to get mine over a year ago. It’s pretty cheap, but not very comprehensive to be used as a normal health insurance policy. After I got to Thailand I got a comprehensive health insurance policy from Pacific Cross. You might want to check them out first as their plans also cover the OA requirements, unless you just want to use it to get the OA visa and don’t care about the actual coverage. You kind of get what you pay for. I think my AXA policy was $600 and my Pacific Cross plan was $2400 which included outpatient costs. With only in patient it was about $1800. I’m 63 with no preexisting conditions. If you don’t need insurance then go with the non-O retirement visa that requires no health insurance.
