What should I know about extending a Non-OA visa in Thailand regarding health insurance?
Extending Non-OA visa, Lesson Learned/Experience: Chiang Mai Immigration: When you extend a non-OA visa for one year, watch out for you health insurance coverage date. If your current insurance expires in 10months, you will get a visa extension for 10 months only.
Answer summary
When extending a Non-OA visa in Thailand, particularly in Chiang Mai, it is crucial to pay attention to the coverage date of your health insurance. If your insurance is set to expire in under a year, your visa extension will only be for the duration of your coverage. This means if your health insurance expires in 10 months, you will only receive a 10-month extension, even though the standard policy allows for a one-year extension.
