What are the current requirements for reentering Thailand with a Non-O Visa after a visit to Cambodia?
OK - with everything changing this has become confusing for me. Hopefully you guys can help me sort this.
I’m currently in Thailand on a retirement non-immigrant “O” Visa with extension of stay granted until December 2022. Up to date on 90 day reports. I have a single reentry permit -not yet used. I am fully vaxxed - Az + Pfizer in thailand, two Pfizer in USA.
I have no insurance and no Thai Pass because they weren’t required when I re-entered and quarantined in Phuket for 2 weeks in September 2021.
So now I want to do a land border crossing at Ban Laem into Cambodia, and then return to Thailand by land four or five days later. So it looks like for rentry I have to get a Thai pass and show proof of insurance until my extension of stay runs out in Dec 2022. Is this true? Or does my existing unused reentry permit change any of that? Any other important nuances I am missing?
TIA for your help.

Answer summary
The user, currently holding a non-immigrant 'O' Visa with an extension until December 2022, seeks clarification on the reentry requirements after planning a short trip to Cambodia. Key points from the discussion indicate that since the user's visa does not fall under the Non-OA category, only 30 days of insurance is necessary for the Thailand Pass to reenter, which can be valid for the duration of entry requirements rather than the full extension period.

You only need 30 days insurance for the Thai pass not until the end of your extension. I have just arrived back last week

As long as your extension is based on Non-O and not Non-OA (this visa type has its own insurance requirement) then you should be okay with only 30 days of insurance to enter the country. That will meet the Thailand Pass entry requirements.
