ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
To apply for an extension of a one-year visa in Thailand, specifically a Non-OA visa, you need to consider the insurance requirements which are necessary for certain types of extensions. Generally, there's clarification needed between the concepts of 'renewal' and 'extension.' A one-year visa cannot be simply renewed; instead, you apply for an extension. The insurance requirements differ depending on the type of visa you're on, where the One-Year Retirement Extension specifically requires insurance for the Non-OA visa. For the O-A extension, the insurance thresholds are 40,000 THB for outpatient (OPD) care and 400,000 THB for inpatient (IPD) care. Check the official immigration site for the most current requirements.
