 2 years. 2 years of insurance. And no; I do not buy a new visa every 2 years. After 2 years, yearly extensions.

 no, they do not. I have an OA and have entered/exited many times. I have never been asked as the information is on the visa.

 nope. And the insurance expiration date is on the visa. You do not have to carry proof on you.

How soon should I obtain health insurance for a Non-Imm O-A visa application from Australia?

@Mike *****
 agreed! Same. But the policy start date does not have to be during the application. It starts when you arrive, not when you apply. If you pay for policy, and it starts on 60 days.... when your trip starts! Attached is the letter arranged to the most recent application; in February 2025 for my arrival in March 2025.

 Wash DC embassy. And LA consulate. 2021, 2023, 2025. No time was health insurance required to be active for the application. Just the certified letter from the insurance company that the policy dates were active when the visa was.

 1. It will be issued before you fly. (If you put in 6-8 weeks in advance no issues...) 2. It does not state when you apply. It states for the period. Screenshot is attached. NEVER heard of any country requiring it for application, just for entry/duration. 3. Great! Same with me...

 as stated, get insurance with start date of policy to be day of arrival in Thailand AND SUBMIT FOR VISA...... and end date MIGHT be end date of visa. Insurance might be later depending on policy.

I know this because I have done it several times; this year most recently.
