I’m completing the Non-OA visa application, and have a few questions.

The application requests the “7. Foreign Insurance Certificate, as stipulated by the Office of Insurance Commission and Health Insurance of Thailand, must be completed, signed, and stamped by the insurance company. The form can be downloaded from [members only]”.

The documents provided by the insurance company provide the exact same information as required in the form, but have a slightly different appearance than the downloaded form.

Should I have the exact form completed or is the priority to provide the required information? Any idea as to what would be acceptable to the embassy?

*The other issue is that the insurance policy is 5MB instead of 3MB or smaller. “6. Health Insurance issued by a Thai or foreign insurer, covering general illnesses, including COVID-19, with a minimum insured sum of 100,000 USD or 3,000,000 THB. “*

*What are the expectations here? Do they need the entire document? Is there a reliable free app that can further downsize the original 18 page PDF? *

I used a trial of Adobe Acrobat to compress the file further. It looked terrible, so I split the original file in half and compressed each half separately and rejoined them. It's both under the 3MB limit and more legible.

Thank you in advance.

( I know the "O" does not require health insurance). For anyone on an O-A visa, this is required Foreign Insurance Certificate: As stipulated by the Office of Insurance Commission and Health Insurance of Thailand, this certificate must be completed, signed, and stamped by the insurance company. Has anyone had luck with that specifically BCBS Federal? TIA!

What is the difference between these two requirements?

Foreign Insurance Certificate as stipulated by the Office of Insurance Commission and Health Insurance of Thailand, which must be completed, signed and stamped by the insurance company.

Health Insurance issued by a Thai or foreign insurer for general illnesses, including COVID-19, with the insured sum of no less than 100,000 USD or 3,000,000 THB

Ok, for the O A visa application it asks you to send the provided foreign insurance certificate. Is this to be filled in by the Thai health insurance you buy as part of this application or are you required to buy travel insurance as well in your home country and have them sign it?

Anyone here have experience with VISA medical coverage requirments and TriCare?

Hi there. Just applying for my Non-Immigrant O-A visa. I am currently in Australia and will be applying from here. A question relating to the Foreign Insurance Certificate. Any recommendations on a provider? Many thanks.

Hello, has someone gotten a one year non-imm OA visa extension recently at Chaeng Wattans and what was the required health insurance. I asked my insurance broker for an estimate with the new rule of 3 000 000 bath coverage instead of the 400 000 baths with a Thai approved company and he said that it depends of the immigration center??? Apparently some centers apply the new rule, some don't? Also it seems you can use your international insurance, for the last 2 years I bought a Thai policy that I never used, so I would very much like to use my own European insurance but I have read that the policy must be approved by an embassy. What is that? Thanks for your input

Has anyone extended Non O-A visa at Changwattana in the last few weeks? what is their requirement of the insurance? Is it 3Millions or still the same as last year 40K/400K. If 3 millions can overseas insurance be used as we have Cigna Global (not Cigna Thailand) policy covered of USD1million. We have tried to find information all over the web but no success. Even the insurance companies on [members only] cant give us a firm answer and suggest us to check with the immigration office. We are super stress so any helps is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Anyone use the insurance supplied with Emirates airline ticket? We applied for long stay O-A visa, but thaievisa want the overseas insurance certificate signed and stamped. Anyone have to do this? I've emailed AIG (underwriters for Emirates), and requested the certificate signed and stamped but no reply. They've been good with replies previously.

Straight from Royal Thai Embassy, D.C. website. What I don't understand is that if you purchased an insurance, why showing the insurance is not good enough, they ask you to take an extra step to ask your insurance to sign an document -- Foreign Insurance Certificate Form. Thai government really loves paper works. I am amazed.
