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.

Could a british expat help with this, preferably someone that's gone through the process in recent years, cos us old schoolers had it very different 20yrs ago when u just popped in to your local consulate.

The online E visa is stating I need 2 types of insurance, which do I actually need and where is best to go for best rate?

The police criminal record clearance, is the Police Certificate obtained from ACRO for £65 what they actually want?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

(Edited w/additional clarification)

Earlier in the year when the proposed changes to VOA, Visa exempt, and DTV were announced, it was also mentioned that the Non-immigration visas were going to change by reducing the number of categories/types with possible changes in the requirements. The window mentioned was Sept/Oct.(Dec?) I've not heard anything since. I know there's a different Administration in place now, but has there been any talk of the changes?

I can't find the original article but this has the bulleted "mid-term measures" I read before.

I want to apply for a 90 day Non Immigration O Visa based on retirement from the UK. There are two things i am unclear about.

First , I will submit confirmation of receipt of my employment pension. Is that acceptable?

Second , do I need to submit evidence of insurance for the 90 day period?

Any answers please

Hi, I'm on multiple entry O-A visa. It was granted by my country Thai consulate on 13/09/2023 and states "must be used by 12/09/2024". I arrived to Thailand on 09/11/2023 and since my insurance was finishing on 31/10/2024 I got stamped until that date.

I'm gonna extend my insurance one more year and planning to travel to Phnom Penh on 14/09/2024 to get stamp until 31/10/2025 if I understood properly from other comments in this group. If I extend my insurance until 09/11/2025 will I get that date? or max I can get now is 31/10/2025?

I believe I don't need to apply for re-entry since I have multiple entry granted, is that right? And once I'm back, if I want to travel abroad again, would I need to apply for re-entry? or the same conditions of my current visa will apply until 31/10/2025?

Not sure if this has previously been shared or communicated. Phuket immig has now removed the B3m insurance exemption/ waiver for the OA visa holders who arrived before Nov 2019. I wasnt able to verify this with an officer as I was unable to get past the gatekeepers they now employ, and I stopped bringing my insurance policy several years ago. They say it was gazzetted in sept last year surprised not to see anything in the media about it 🤔

Can someone confirm the entry stamp is correct or not?

Looks like I only recieved 11 months?

Hi all any news on the reduction in insurance levels required for O-A visa
