I bought a non imm o-a multi entry visa a couple of months ago from the LA Thai Consulate and will be flying out from the US on October 30 and arrive in Thailand on October 31. As you may expect, with only three weeks until we depart, I have been watching the news on the new medical insurance requirements with great concern. I decided to ask the Consulate where I had purchased the visa about what to expect when we arrive in Bangkok. Here is their response:
“If your visa hasn't expired then you do not have to worry. This only affect if you apply [for] the Non-OA Visa after Oct. 31.”
I think I will print out a copy of this email and have it with me when we arrive in Bangkok.
