I just entered the Kingdom (Swampy)on my O/A visa valid from 24th April 2019. The IO informed me that the next time I enter I will need the Thai Insurance. I did'nt want to argue with him and I just replied OK.

I thought that I could enter the Kingdom 23rd April 2020 and that I was good for 1 more year getting a re-entry permit if i left the country for the second year of the O/A

Comment from James Miller:

You should be OK...

It appears as though you were unlucky with the Immigration Officer who stamped you in...

as another poster also arrived at BKK yesterday and granted full year:

"Hi

Yesterday I arrived at Suvarnabhumi airport with a Non-Imm O-A multiple entry visum edited on September 12, 2019.

I got a stamp until December 25, 2020.

No questions asked. Nothing."

Arived at Bkk on 24th Dec on a UK passport with a A-O issued July 2018.

So into last few months. Had a re entry Visa. No question asked about insurance.

However,made the basic error of not checking. IO did not stamp re entry. Ga e me a new entry stamp for 1 year to Dec 2020. Luckily Jomtie immigration saw the funny side. Check before the IO let's you go.

i can only see it once, but the text is copied in the answer from James. I just posted this to avoid the commercials that we not like on this page and you did not find a way to get it away.

I do not cut pieces out of peoples answers and text.
