There are two parts to this. First, you must have insurance with coverage of no less than 100,000 USD. If this insurance is not covering Covid-19, you must have a supplementary insurance for Covid-19, which costs less than 1,000 THB for one year.
, true, but the multi-entry Non-O is designed for this. There is nothing wrong with having a multi-entry Non-O and the requirements are almost the same at most embassies as getting an extension.
, I guess ppl know about that. One time (after getting my new passport) I was accused of abusing the "visa runs" on my Non-O visa, which is impossible to abuse as such. Then I tried to get an extension before the Non-O expired but that was refused by my local immigration... Sometimes Thailand is a bit strange...
, that's true also, but I was also questioned at the airport but much less. I actually thought it was by coincidence and also had the idea of avoiding female officers as they were always more difficult, but when I got a new passport for completely other reasons the issue completely disappeared...
I actually think they have eased up a bit on short overstays. There was a time a few years ago with reports of ppl getting arrested in the airport for 1-2 days overstay. But I don't think this is gonna happen any longer...
, ok, for what reason did they take me out every time until I've got my new passport? Let me know :-) I got the overstay for one day after my first more permanent stay in Thailand. It caused a lot more trouble at the time of the overstay. I didnt notice that the month had 31 days :-) Since then I have always had a visa...
