I’m completing the Non-OA visa application, and have a few questions.
The application requests the “7. Foreign Insurance Certificate, as stipulated by the Office of Insurance Commission and Health Insurance of Thailand, must be completed, signed, and stamped by the insurance company. The form can be downloaded from [members only]”.
The documents provided by the insurance company provide the exact same information as required in the form, but have a slightly different appearance than the downloaded form.
Should I have the exact form completed or is the priority to provide the required information? Any idea as to what would be acceptable to the embassy?
*The other issue is that the insurance policy is 5MB instead of 3MB or smaller. “6. Health Insurance issued by a Thai or foreign insurer, covering general illnesses, including COVID-19, with a minimum insured sum of 100,000 USD or 3,000,000 THB. “*
*What are the expectations here? Do they need the entire document? Is there a reliable free app that can further downsize the original 18 page PDF? *
I used a trial of Adobe Acrobat to compress the file further. It looked terrible, so I split the original file in half and compressed each half separately and rejoined them. It's both under the 3MB limit and more legible.
Thank you in advance.
