What To Expect When Re-Entering Thailand on an OA Visa?
A post to give information only. Just re entered Thailand at Phuket International Airport. I have an OA visa issued July 2019. This was my third entry on this visa but the first after the 31st October. Although I do have health insurance obtained via the government approved website, after careful inspection by the polite and efficient officer, I was not asked any questions about health insurance or to prove I had any, and was stamped in for 365 days (Jan 6th 2021).

I’m sure to get criticized for this post. But you did follow the rules and had nothing to worry about. You just were not scrutinized with due diligence on the subject, and had a lenient IO.. I would hate the wrong message to go out for others to try this without insurance and be unsuccessful because of these stories
