do you know if Covid insurance is required for visa exempt?

Is the Visa exemption renewable at the end of 45 days or do I need to make a border run?? I’ve been told the exemption isn’t renewable?

Most of the people coming across the border nowadays are non-Mexican. They are literally flying in from other countries mailing their passport to a friend in America and then just walking across illegal crossings. Worst case scenario they deport you at a court hearing 3 to 5 years later

 but hey if you wanna try it legally and get a person from Thailand to come over to see you your chances are slim to none. 

@Bruce ********

Who said anything about doing it “properly”.

With absolutely no penalties for crossing over the border Why would anybody wanna do it properly nowadays? That’s why 160 thousand people cross our borders illegally every month. There’s no penalty whatsoever when you get caught. 

@Bruce ********

it’s a legit answer I know 3 people who have personally just walked across the border. 

Play blended in with the illegals crossing got fingerprinted and they gave him a packet and sent them on a bus to northern Ohio. They are allowed to stay until their court date which probably won’t be for 3 to 5 years. They flew from Haiti to Mexico and walked right across the border into Texas. About the easiest thing I’ve ever seen.  The only downfall was paying $800 for a fucking wristband from the cartel. And the $800 total (about $260 each) allowed all three of them to cross

Just sneak across the Mexican border like everyone else. 160,000 every month are just let in. So far almost 2 million came across border and the Biden admin welcomed them w open arms.

I really appreciate the great info. Me and the wife been married a long time. Met her here in USA and got married in USA. We got 2 children aged 19 and 27 (dual citizenships). All this info u gave me will save me tons of time n effort. Much appreciated!

@Kool ******

Thanks!!! This is a real eye opener. I really appreciate the advise. I originally was thinking about the Type O marriage visa but the wife mentioned the O-X and it seemed good on paper. But based on your advise I’m definitely just gonna do the Type O Marriage Visa. Seems easy enough and more feasible from a Financial Requirement standpoint of only 400,000B. Don’t wish to lock up 3M Baht either. THANKS FOR THE EXCELLENT ADVISE!!!

Does the Bank account need to be solely in my name or can it be joint account for the 400,000 requirement?? And can I get the Type O w a “multiple reentry” as we plan on traveling a few times a year around Asia? Is it better to apply for the type O while I’m in Thailand for my 90 day house hunting trip or do it back in USA when I come back to pack our household stuff for the move? Thanks again!
