Good morning 🙏🏼 I’m looking at extending my oa visa for another year but the health insurance premium has increased by more than 50% as I turned 66 this year. Can you please advise on the minimum cover required by immigration?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The minimum health insurance coverage required for extending an OA visa in Thailand is still 100,000 USD. There was previous discussion about possibly lowering this to 400,000 baht, but that proposal was not passed. Expats also have the option to switch to a Non-O Visa, which does not require health insurance, although living in Thailand without insurance is generally not advisable.
