AIA Health Happy and O-A visa extension.

Hi, I'm gonna extend by second time my O-A visa. For the first 2 years I got AXA Easy Care but it has a very high deductible what make it basicly useful only for visa purposes.

I want to get a better health insurance and AIA matches feels quite interesting.

However they don't have a plan designed for O-A as AXA has.

If I'm not wrong insurance requirements are 400k for inpatient and 40k for outpatient.

AIA offers 25M coverage but about outpatient it says "2k per visit up to 30 times a year". I wonder if this is accepted by immigration.

Anybody else with similar case?

I have a Non OA Visa Multi Entry retirement one year valid until 19th November 2025. Went to Laos for 2 days and come back in via the bus terminal Noung Khai. At immigration sent me to office to supervisor who would only stamp passport to 29th Dec 2025, I thought with multi entry I would get 12 months from date come back into thailand 11th Aug is that correct. Thankyou for any info.

Hello to everyone,

Hope this is the right platform to ask & seek advice for my question

In the process of completing my Visa application for Non-O, 12 month stay with multi entry.

UK born, though lived in Australia all but 6 months of my life. Seeking feedback as to insurance policies held by fellow members which comply with Visa / application requirements.

I am trying to understand how Thai policies work & decide which is best for me. I have top private health cover in Australia (covers private/public hospitals, ambulance, medical visits, medication, dental, optical, injury rehab etc)

Those here from Australia who know Medibank Private Health that’s who I am with, so looking for similar cover

Any recommendations of Insurance companies to speak to is greatly appreciated

Thankyou in advance for any responses

Keep smiling and have a wonderful day 🙏

Just received my OA visa in Australia. Where can I find out all the rules to this visa officially? I can’t find anything on the Canberra page. Nor was anything sent with my visa. Eg my requirements for reporting. I have read it can be extended into a second year. Where is everyone else getting confirmed information from the Thai authorities please?

Just been to Bangkok Bank in Udon Thani and asked for a simple bank account. I had my passport and 90 day retirement visa and driving licence. I’m 56 and retired and in a relationship. My girlfriend rents a home nearby. I was told that I also need a TM30 stamped at immigration office and long term rental agreement. She also tried to sell me Insurance for 50k baht for 12 months, as she said it would help my application. This is just a post for information purposes but feel free to add comments that may help!

Hello’s, when applying for an O- A visa from the US online , do I necessarily have to provide insurance proof and if so how do I get a Thai insurance without a knon address ( yet ). Or do I just come on a tourist and take care of the conversion once I get ther

Is there any requirement for any type of insurance? If so any recommendations.

What are the requirements from Immigration regarding Insurance level IPD resp OPD when apply for renewal one year visa? Link to official site?

The following answer just came in from my local Immigration Office in regards of my DTV extension this month. Not sure what kind of insurance they are talking about. Anyone got an idea? I will ask them again…

„We would like to inform you about your DTV Extension. Yes, we need your new financial proof in English and your insurance (it must cover a whole period of your stay). You have to prepare all the documents as same as you prepared for the Thai Embassy when you first apply for DTV but all in English. You can contact us after the middle of January as your visa will expire in February.“

This also answers the speculations once more, if or if not you need all the documents and fresh proof again. Yes you do.

hi, I am living in bkk on a non oa retirement visa.

my extension will expire on Feb 25, 2025 with my existing insurance coming to expire on the same day while my new insurance coverage starts on the same day for another year.

if I apply for another extension about a week before Feb 25, let's say Feb 17 (before the expiry of my existing insurance and before the coverage of my new insurance), will I be eligible to get my new extension?

then will the immigration consider my new extension to start from Feb 17 or 25?

I am asking this because the regulation stated the new insurance must cover the day for applying for the extension.

Thank you for your time.
