Question on insurance.

Holders of some credit cards are offered full medical cover as a card benefit.. even if travel is not booked on the card.

Would this be acceptable?

probably to BUY an O-A visa from a thai consulate in your country or to enter thailand while that O-A visa was valid

BUT

As far as using it to get a yearly extension of stay, nope, for that you need to use one of the 12 thai insurance providers

Bob D'Andrea I arrived from London Gatwick via Dubai. Business class and dress smart. Some of the Europeans arriving looked like they had come from a homeless shelter.

It seems some of the IO's may feel the insurance protocol is a bit harsh and maybe using their lenient arms while they can. Just hope none of them lose their jobs over it though...
