@Wannikea ********

anybody entering Thailand on Non O or O-A or an extension of those visas now require $100,000 or 3.3 million baht health insurance which INCLUDES Covid cover. The $50,000 cover doesn't apply to those visas or extensions when entering Thailand.

Watch what's coming to extensions for retirement and for those applying for Extensions and applying for Non O visas inside Thailand.

It's going to be same as applying for Extensions of Non O-A visas

Sorry, no idea what they require.

here is what it says in your case

@James *****************

sorry. I never looked at that option

Here you go. Direct from the London Thai Embassy website.

Note that you now require the exact same insurance for a Non O retirement,as you do for a Non O-A visa

@Alex *********

no it won't.

You can go anywhere you want without your passport BUT be aware, if your stopped and they want to see it and you don't have it, you won't be be going anywhere until somebody fetches it. That's how it works.

It's your choice what you decide to do.

All Thai Honorary consulate's worldwide have been closed down permanently and won't be open again

It's the next stage of the Evisa process.

It's starts the end of September. Like all the country's using the Evisa system, you need to hold a French passport or have long term leave to remain in France to use it.

All countries will be on it soon.

All UK and Irish Thai consuls are now permanently closed.
