Why is CIGNA not on the list of approved medical insurance companies for O-A visa renewal in Thailand?

@Stuart ********

Thanks for the response. I was unaware that an OA visa could be extended at immigration in Thailand. (I’ve heard of people leaving and returning just before the expiration date to gain another year) Would it also require 800k in a Thai bank account and medical certificate which was required here in DC.

@Marty ********

Ok that certainly makes sense overall. So what is this person asking with regards to extending an OA visa? Maybe I misunderstood his question.

@Stuart ********

Just an inquiry. An OA visa is only issued in a foreign Thai embassy. Would it not be converted to an O visa within Thailand when a renewal is due and therefore would waive the insurance requirement?

@Gary **********

So which 1 year visa only requires the 90 day reporting and needs to be extended every year?

How do 90-day reports work for Non-O visas in Thailand?

David ****

@Brandon ***********

I thought that was only required for the 1 year non-O extension. It’s basically a catch 22 since most banks refuse to open an account without a long term visa already issued. Can always pay an agent to get around that.

@Brandon ***********

Does the 90 day non-O visa have financial requirements or primarily just over 50 years old. This period allows one to open an account and transfer the appropriate funds for the renewal, correct?

Yeah we all want to retire elsewhere. So your non-o

visa was issued in Thailand or from the embassy here in the US?

Oh ok. So it’s not a retirement visa. I had an oa retirement visa which had a year stamp.

Just checking… the non-o 1 year visa only requires 90 day reporting at immigration or online. Not necessary to leave the country and return for another stamp. Right?
