ORIGINAL POSTER

Insurance is not listed as a requirement for the O-A visa on the   e-visa website which was just launched on Sep 26th.  It's not listed on the wash DC Thai embassy website either.  Anyone know if insurance is no longer a requirement for getting the O-A?

TLDR : Answer Summary

There is confusion regarding the insurance requirement for the O-A visa in Thailand, as it is not explicitly listed on the new e-visa website or the Washington DC embassy's site. However, comments indicate that insurance is still a requirement, along with financial documents, police checks, and health records.
