What are the health insurance requirements for an O-A visa holder entering Thailand?

@Reiner ********

I was referring to the posters from the UK suggesting travel insurance.

@R**

and James ...Thanx ....I am not a BRIT but.....something is wrong in the original Post .

End

London make no mention of even accepting anything other than a Thai insurance policy any longer. They have deleted the referral they once made to it.

Copy of evidence stating that applicants have insurance as stipulated by the Office of Insurance Commission and health insurance of Thailand which has insurance coverage for outpatient not less than 40,000 Baht and for inpatient not less than 400,000 Baht. Please check < > for more information regarding the insurance requirement. It is recommended that applicants buy insurance policies from the companies listed in this website, and bring a copy of insurance certificate or policy with them when travelling to Thailand.

Financial evidence showing monthly income of not less than 65,000 THB (approx. £1,625) or having the current balance of 800,000 THB (approx. £20,000), e.g. bank statements, proof of earnings, for at least 1 month

If you wish to be accompanied by spouse, the marriage certificate will be attached. But your spouse will be granted Non-Immigrant “O” instead of “O-A”(Long Stay)

@Ron ******

agreed.

@Stuart ********

well....I use glasses ...but it is like it is...HE don't want to buy one because he don't stay more then 90 days.....so he should change his Visa to a simple Tourist Visa 60+ 30 and he don't need one....which point I missed ?

i deleted my comment. I remember Toon Bodyslam, he will run again to collect money and pay hospital bills.

@Robert ******

. I haven't got a clue what you're talking about. Have another read what I said.

Non-Immigrant Type O (Retirement (pensioner aged 50 or above with a state pension who wants to stay in Thailand for no longer than 90 days) - single entry only)

Financial evidence e.g. A copy of pension statement if the applicant is a pensioner, or a copy of 1-month bank statement showing your income from pension, or 3-month bank statement of at least £10,000

Confirmation of legal residence in the UK or Ireland

@Geoff ******

and I don't believe you will be able to use Non O as visa to gain access to Thailand many times...Thai Immigration will question it...IMHO

How many times do you come to Thailand in a year? And for how long each time? I think you said three months at a time.

@James *******

no. The UK only issue single entry Non O visas now. You need to show bank accounts in the UK with a minimum of £10,000 sterling. If its 1 month or 3 months of accounts, it depends on what you use as financial evidence.

Geoff Nolan but the Non O is ONLY for 3 months...

Lets confirm...

@Tod ********

@Ron ******

...

Does UK grant Non O for retirement for 90 days with extension to be done in Thailand and be subject to the financial requirements of money in Thai bank ??

Will they grant Non O for 12 months?

I think not...but...
