ORIGINAL POSTER

Thank You for the add, I came into Thailand on 27 Dec on ("NON-O Married to a Thai") and must leave on the 26 March 2022. My departure airline ticket is on the 12 of April back to the USA. I would like to extend or try and get a "NON-O" multi-entry for one year due to my Thai Marriage. Not sure if that is possible. Also, I'm 75 in years and not sure I can get insurance upon my re-entry where I like to spend 6 months in Ubon where I have a house and 6 months in Orlando, FL. Hope that the Thai government changes the insurance policy, but do not see that in the future. What are my options please. Thanks in advance. 😎

I’m in Thailand on a 1 year visa based on marriage to a Thai and there is no requirement for health insurance

That is true as long as one does not leave the country. Currently any foreigner who enters Thailand must have Health Insurance with a minimum coverage of $50,000. This can be challenging as one gets older.

You can apply for the 60 days Extension of Stay based on visiting your Thai wife, OR

Apply for the 1 year Extension of Stay based on marriage with a Thai National but that includes meeting the financial and other requirements. When you have this 1 year Extension of Stay, you can apply for a re-entry permit to travel out and back.

BUT to get into Thailand there is also the Thailand pass with the insurance policy, which you have to meet to get access.
