TLDR : Answer Summary

To extend your Special Tourist Visa (STV) in Thailand, you typically need specific documents including a valid passport, application form, recent photographs, proof of residency, and possibly financial statements. Additionally, you are required to have health insurance that covers COVID-19 treatment, with a minimum coverage amount specified by Thai authorities. It's helpful to check with the relevant immigration office for any specific requirements.

I have read elsewhere that the insurance needs to be in Thai so they had to take out a new insurance

It does not. But they may require you to have your insurance sign some sort of equivalent form.

yes has to be Thai it says that on the application but for some reasons the initial visa is being issued with non thai insurance. Problem is some people buy a years policy and then 3 months later got to buy Thai insurance

You'll have to contact Phuket immigration and ask them.

Some immigration offices are very relaxed, some are more strict. IF you submit the documents required for Bangkok Immigration (see attached), it *WILL* be accepted.

For the insurance, it'll be the same insurance that you used to enter Thailand.

Sorry if this is a silly question, but you mention the insurance is the same that you used to enter Thailand.

I will need to buy one for the period of the extension right?
