I have a question about 0-A Visa
In the past I have used this Visa to stay here in Thailand
And just before it expires I would take a trip outside of the country and when I landed back in Thailand just days before it expired immigration at the airport would stamp it for a full another year
Does anyone know if this is still happening?
I also understand the new regulations of having health insurance in place and that the Visa will only be extended for the length of the insurance policy
Which I plan to do
Does anyone know of this policy still working the same way
Thank you
TLDR : Answer Summary
The OA visa in Thailand continues to function as it has in the past, with holders being able to re-enter the country just before their visa expires for an additional year, provided they have health insurance. It is crucial to note that while the first year allows multiple entries, the second year is single entry, necessitating a re-entry permit if you plan to leave the country during this period. Participants in the discussion confirmed that both the renewal process and health insurance requirement remain unaffected.
