Should I correct the end date on my visa application regarding my health insurance?

Visa Processing Visa Application Health Insurance Requirements Thailand Consulate Visa Expiry Expat Advice

ORIGINAL POSTER

I should have included this in my previous question about the visa processing timeline. When I completed the application, I accidentally input the wrong end date. I should have used the same date as my health insurance expiration, but I wasn't aware of this requirement and instead wrote an end date approximately 360 days from my planned arrival date. 

My insurance expires about 2 weeks before the one-year anniversary of my arrival.

When I contact the consulate about their anticipated visa completion date, should I also correct this information? They'll likely discover the discrepancy during processing anyway.

My insurance was issued BEFORE my visa as it was required for the visa, visa activation happened weeks later. No problems at all. Not thinking it's important. 🤷‍♂️

If your insurance expires before your visa, you've not met the visa requirements and you will be on overstay from that time on. Suggest you make appropriate adjustments. To don't want overstay on your record.

The entry stamp determines the exit date and that is based on the insurance expiry (if less than 12 months) so where does the overstay occur is you follow the entry stamp?

Wrong, the Non-OA will be issued but the entry stamp will not be 12 months it will be to the expiry date of the insurance, as will each subsequent entry

not sure, but easiest would seen to be to contact the insurance company to extend the policy or change the start date.

I reached out to the insurance, and explained my situation. We'll see what's possible.
