TLDR : Answer Summary

The health insurance requirements for a 90-day O visa in Thailand indicate that insurance should cover the duration of the visa, i.e., 90 days. For entry under the Thai Pass with a non-immigrant visa, only COVID-19 health coverage is needed for the first 30 days. However, it is clarified that the Non-O visa does not mandatorily require comprehensive health insurance, unlike other visa types such as O-A. Users have expressed general confusion about the evolving regulations in Thailand.

If you already have the Thai Pass, you have the required insurance to enter.

O-A requires Health Insurance, not an O Visa. Check what you have.

I'm applying for a 90 day O visa, based on being over 50, from the UK, and it is asking me to upload travel insurance details.

all you need to upload is verification that your insurance has at least US$10,000 coverage for covid hospitalisation.

For the Thaipass you just need covid coverage for the first 30 days of you're on a non immigrant visa. The Non-O doesn't require health insurance.

. in Germany there insisted on a 90 day insurance, arguing with them no point.

The irony is that for Thailand Pass "covid" no longer needs to be mentioned in the policy (see capture from TP FAQ), but the cheapest Thai insurance is only for Covid and just a token insurance.

Your insurance should last as long as your visa ergo 90 days

In theory yes, but in practice no. I have seen even 1 day insurance getting approved. But suggest for people to take 15 or 30 days, especially if they are only taking Thai insurance as back-up for their own insurance.

Having said that any health or travel insurance will be accepted.
