What are the new health insurance requirements for obtaining an O/A visa in Thailand?

Question

O/A VISA and the new healty paper .

I landed in phuket on 25.12.2562 with a new o / a visa.  I had to show my health insurance (hansa merkur, 365 days insurance)
  Since my health insurance is valid from departure 24.12.2019, I got the entry stamp until 22.12.2020 (leap year) "only" 364 days to the expiry of the health insurance.
  Immigration worked properly!

We asked in English and Thai language what is stamped when I leave again and maybe in August (multi) again with the same health insurance.

Insightful answer, at the end of health insurance = 12/22/2020!

Now everything has been clarified for me, as everything goes (very well) with the new requirements.

Translate from German , sorry for mistakes.

And also for late time info 😢👍✈🙏

The post discusses the experience of a person who arrived in Phuket with a new O/A visa and had to present health insurance that was valid for a year. The insurance coverage had to align with the entry date, which led to a specific entry stamp valid only for the duration of the insurance policy. The discussion includes comments from others clarifying the application process and requirements, focusing on the importance of presenting a valid health insurance certificate when applying for the visa.

For some reason, this popped up on my feed today (March 22, 2020). I'm closing comments.

Thanks for posting, Matthew.

First report I've seen where they only stamped in until the expiry of the insurance (as per the police order).

so Matthew can always get a 365 days stay out of an O/A visa without the need of signing a thai based health insurance from the tgia list

Gregor ********** · Answer

. it is good to know, that there are foreign health insurances who are willing to sign the "tgia-certificate" for a successful application for the O/A visa in one's home country. And that it is valid for the first 365 days, minus the days lost until first entry. Thank you very much, [mention redacted]

Bernd *********** · Answer

That's is exactly what I'm expecting. If it's working that way I will be fine with the O-A visa for the future.  Thanks for the info....

thanks  Matthew  for sharing  your  Experience with us.

Gregor ********** · Answer

could you please just clarify, that you firstly had to show the health insurance signed certificate for the application of the O/A visa in your home country's Thai embassy/consulate, before you winged your way to Phuket? Because your post reads like anyone can show up at a Thai border and show the health insurance of who-is-who and will be stamped in. You received a Non-Imm-O/A visa in your home country because you had the certificate & proof of a 365 days valid foreign health insurance, and you timed the validity date correctly to match the 365 days needed from the day of entry onward
