ORIGINAL POSTER
I’ve searched here and read many excellent posts but just wished to confirm something please.

My O-A Visa expires on 5th June 2020. I am currently in UK as I returned last September to take care of my Mother. I hope to return to Thailand March 2020 for 1 month. I assume there is no requirement for health insurance as my Visa started 6th June 2019. I have free 30 days travel insurance coverage with my bank so was just going to use that.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking confirmation about health insurance requirements for their O-A Visa, which expires on June 5, 2020, while they are currently in the UK. They plan to return to Thailand for one month in March 2020 and have a travel insurance policy, but they are unsure if it meets the visa requirements. Comments confirm that no health insurance is required for the visa at this time.

Thank you I thought so. I understand my travel insurance wouldn’t suffice. But as there isn’t a requirement this time for me to show health insurance I can just use the travel insurance. Thank you

There should be no health insurance required.

And if it was required, your one month travel policy would not be accepted.
