Why am I being asked for COVID insurance for a Non-O visa application when it’s only required for other visa types?
Hello all - I am mid application on the e-visa service for a single entry non-o - the website has a popup stating that covid insurance is only required now for non-oa and non-ox and stv - but my application is still forcing a insurance certificate for $100k to be uploaded to finish the application? Is anybody in the same boat and can shed some light on this situation.
Answer summary
A user is experiencing an issue with the e-visa application process for a single entry Non-O visa. Despite the website stating that COVID insurance is only required for Non-OA, Non-OX, and STV visa types, the application is still mandating an insurance certificate of $100,000. Other users suggest that while the stated requirements are accurate, specific consulates may impose additional requirements, leading to this discrepancy.

It says right there “insurance(s) are required only for Special Tourist Visa (STV) and Long Stay Visas (Non-Immigration OA and OX) applications.
Are you sure you are applying for non-O and not non-OA?

There is no insurance requirement other than the visa types you state for entry in to Thailand. However the consulates that use the evisa system may require insurance for issuing the visa itself. My guess is you’re using one of the US consulate sites to apply?
