If you have entered with a 90 day insurance coverage and staying past that 90 coverage period, is it mandatory to purchase for the duration of the stay? Or it’s only mandatory to show when entering?

TLDR : Answer Summary
When entering Thailand, it is typically required to have health insurance coverage; however, once you are in the country, maintaining that insurance for the duration of your stay is generally not mandatory unless your visa type requires it for extensions.

Depending on your visa type... I think the tourist visa require if for extensions.

I came on TR visa and had 90 day insurance, stayed an extra 30 days and they didn’t ask or mention anything about insurance

For $30 though I paid for an extra 30 days anyway
