Hi, can anybody tell me where to find a list of insurance companies that Thai Immigration accepts, i looked at tgia.org but it only had about 12 companies on there, thinking of going with Alliance ACS with Arawan Namak or Regency, i just want barebones covid/health  insurance to allow me to stay here longer on my OA visa. Thanks to all, appreciate it.

Try Mister Prakan. They have a range of Thai health insurance policies that are cheap with the basic cover.

They accept any insurance as long as it meets the guidelines. You have contacted Arawan already so she knows what is required.

There are only 14 approved health/covid insurance companies for OA visas and extensions. You must choose an applicable policy from an approved entity.

You can’t just choose a health insurance policy from DTac or a life insurance policy your bank. SMH.

well kind of confusing, i just got 9 month covid insurance in Canada instead of the full year for financial reasons, then went to Korat Immigration and they told me i need health insurance as well, and another updated bank statement and then they could give me another yr of O-A-thanks for your help

is this a retirement plan?

Much better to enter Thailand on a tourist visa. Then apply in country for an extension of stay based on retirement.

That way health insurance (not covid insurance) is currently not required and if you do want health insurance you can purchase it from any provider in any country and not just the 14 Thai companies approved by Thailand.
