Henry Zacks your current admitted stay will expire in July 2020 while you are on your second year of stay of a Non-Imm-O/A visa. We at this date do not know what will happen when you leave and re-enter Thailand. If you leave WITHOUT a re-entry permit, you have the chance that your O/A will become void, and you can enter Thailand with either a 30-day exempt visa or a Tourist visa obtained at an embassy or consulate in a neighbouring country

However during her next year application in the U.K. it will be clear that her insurance must sign the Thai Health Ministry certificate or her application will be refused. As this is too far reaching into the future, I shall refrain from further comments

yes, I think she believes they "accepted" it in Suvarnabhumi, while I think they just nodded it "OK" while "en passant" . . . which does not mean that it will be accepted for all O/A visa issued after 31st of October 2019, and subsequently not for her next year O/A

we try to clear it, so you can play safe with future O/A visa. See above, you are perfectly safe if you stay for six months and DON'T leave the country, as to this date, it is completely unclear what will be asked at the point of re-entry. However if you this time entered with an O/A issued before 31st Oct 2019 and wasn't asked for Health Insurance on entering Suvarnabhumi Airport, that just means the play by the rule . . . this does however not mean that you can repeat this come next year

or get the hell out of Kansas ! 🤩

in case you were issued the Thai Ministry of Health "certificate of foreign insurance for alien applying to a Non-Imm-O/A" , got it signed by your home insurance and presented it to the embassy upon your application for the O/A visa, yes you are safe FOR THE FIRST YEAR validity of the visa. However after the expiry of the validity, you must have a Thai based & accredited insurance

if you stay in Thailand for the whole year and do not leave and re-enter, yes, you are safe and you are well insured! But what I am saying is, if you leave and re-enter, we do not yet not know how immigration officials will handle the matter. You can be refused the "renewed" 365 days upon re-entry during the "valid until"period of the O/A visa and only be stamped in for the remaining period of the "valid until" stamp, or you can be completely refused and given 30 days visa exempt entry to give you time to buy a thai accredited health insurance of the tgia list of insurances Immigration will accept for the issueing of prolonged stay on the O/A visa. Like I said - we do not know, yet

if your O/A was issued before October 31st, 2019, they clear you at Suvarnabhumi airport without insurance and without the "foreign insurance certificate". It does NOT mean that they "accepted" your foreign insurance, they probably just "nodded" it OK ! However if you will apply for an Extension of Stay out of this visa, or try to go into the second year of the O/A visa, or do a Re-entry, your chances are minimal. They do not regard your foreign insurance as being valid. Reports are still unclear how Immigration inside Thailand is handling the issue

you can get the re-entry permit for a SETV. BUT, you need to look if the 1200 THB for a re-entry at the Suvarnabhumi Airport is worth buying . . . . if your stay on the SETV visa is almost used up after you already stayed for 7 weeks, the re-entry will only be valid until the end of the original 2-months "admitted until" date

Immigration Supanburi just confirmed to a german and his Thai wife that he can convert using TM2 from 2018 Non-Imm-O/A to a Non-Imm-O based on marriage. Husband has however to meet the financial requirement at the date of the conversion. So actually in SOME immigrations they are willing to do it
