ORIGINAL POSTER

I have a Ovisa multi which expires in August from London.

I have just read a post that says with an O from Australia Thai insurance is required. Is that the case from the UK when I renew? I travel with insurance from the UK.

Retirement but for various reasons I go to Thailand and come back so the O multi entry suits me. One reason is insurance I don't like to be uninsured so my cover is fine up to 90 days. I'm never there more.

@Mike ******

so you are getting a One year Non O MULTIPLE ENTRY Visa as retiree?

Do the Thai Embassy or Consulate in Both the UK and Australia offer the one year multiple entry Non O Visa as retired? UK DOES ..

Have you looked at the new LTR Visa ... Getting you 5+5= 10 years Visa?

Different Embassies have different requirements, I think London only requires insurance for an OA, check their website

ASK the Thai Embassy which you will be issuing the Non O Visa.

Look at the Thai Embassy websites.

It's been reported that the UK Thai Embassy, when using the Evisa online application system, will accept a note uploaded regarding the insurance..

"Health insurance NO longer REQUIRED "

I do believe that the Thai Embassy or Consulate in Australia do still require the 90 days of health insurance to coincide with the Non O Visa entry stamp on arrival.
