Hi, can anyone confirm the required amount of cover for health insurance when applying for the OA Visa from Australia? The Thai Visa site says cover of $3m baht but I’ve read somewhere ( can’t remember where lol) that it’s $4M when applying through the Thai Embassy in Sydney

Thanks all
Answer summary
When applying for the OA Visa from Australia, the official health insurance requirement is USD 100,000 or THB 3,000,000. Some discussions suggest that applying through the Thai Embassy in Sydney might require a policy of THB 4,000,000, but the majority consensus indicates that THB 3,000,000 is acceptable. It’s also noted that the Non-O Visa does not require health insurance.

Think there's a website lists the acceptable insurers for the non-OA.

A 3m baht policy will work

Are you specifically looking at the O-A for a reason ?

The Non-O requires no insurance or checks when applying
