David Roberts The subject was the person entered Thailand without any questions about health insurance.

If you like to know things, you open a topic for yourself and do not change subject by using other topics.

David Roberts While we are on the subject. I guess this would still be a good visa to get multiple Non-O/A and just get re-entry permit, after the one year.

As I don’t want to tie up 1.6 mil in the bank for my wife and I as the requirement for non O visa

Or go back to Canada and renew every year .

Suggestions
Summary so far
The discussion revolves around the challenges of obtaining a Non-O visa in Thailand, specifically regarding health insurance questions, bank balance requirements, and the possibility of using Non-O/A visas with a re-entry permit for multiple stays. A comment highlights that the Non-O-A visa can only be obtained outside Thailand and outlines the financial requirements for extending a stay.

OP
You can not get the Non Immigrant O-A visa in Thailand, only at the Thai Embassy in your country of residence.

For the Extension of Stay one person needs the minimum 800.000 Thb in a Thai bank 2 months prior application date til 3 months after and the rest of the year not less then 400.000 Thb Or the monthly 65.000 Thb income.

The other person can apply for the Extension of Stay based on being married to a foreigner with a temporary stay in Thailand, which has none financial requirements.
