What Are the Current Requirements for OA Visa Holders Entering Thailand Regarding Medical Insurance?
Good afternoon.
Just some information from my arrival back in Thailand on December 30.
Just returned from my Christmas holiday in USA and Canada.
I am a OA visa holder who is still sorting out medical insurance.
On arrival at BKK, the immigration officer did not ask anything about the lack of insurance and stamped me in for 1 year.

Just to add: I arrived Suvarnabhumi yesterday from US. I'm here on my year extension of my OA visa which expired in early October, so left and came back with a re entry permit. I recently got insurance here and was prepared to show docs but was not asked.

that 12 company mandatory is applied only when you apply 1 year extension (not the second year admitted to stay stamp) from Non O-A at your local immigration office. You can use an insurance company in a foreign country when you apply Non O-A at your home (or holding legal residency) country as long as they can provide specified document.

did you have one of the 12 health insurances stipulated or a different one and was it accepted?
