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. 😎

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.
