I'm a new comer to the group, thanks for accepting me.

I have a query about the $50,000 USD insurance to enter Thailand, that I hope someone can help with.

I live in Thailand on a Non O Visa (Thai Wife). While there isn't an insurance requirement for this Visa, as is the case with an O-A Visa, I do have insurance covering inpatient care, with cover of $20,000 USD.

I will travel to Australia early next year and will obviously need to increase my insurance cover to re-enter Thailand. My question;

My current visa expires in July 2022, how long should the period of $50,000 USD be for? Until my Visa is renewed and then go back to my regular policy, or should it be for a full 12 months?

TIA

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user, a newcomer living in Thailand on a Non-O visa, inquires about the $50,000 USD health insurance requirement for re-entering Thailand after traveling to Australia. They currently hold an insurance policy with a $20,000 coverage for inpatient care and are uncertain about how long their increased coverage should last—until their visa renewal or for a full 12 months. Comments suggest that the insurance should be valid until the visa's expiry date and advise to confirm specifics closer to their travel date.
