    No insurance required.  I use to do OA retirement extensions...did 11 of them on my underlying OA visa from 2008.   In 2020 I switched from the OA retirement extension to Thai wife marriage extension with that same underlying OA visa from 2008 Christmas Past.  Switched to avoid the medical insurance....done at CW my serving immigration office...no problem in switching...immigration officer knew I was switching to avoid the insurance....all perfectly allowed under immigration rules.  And in mid Sep 2021 I did my 2nd marriage extension at CW with the old, underlying OA visa....no insurance required since it's a marriage vs retirement extension.

    I did the same thing this past June.   Glad I did.

  2. Just because you are married does not mean you do not have insurance.  Like some others here who are retired military with Tricare (for life)  I have good insurance which I pay 25% of the bill until I have paid in $3,000 a year.  After that the government paid 100% of my bills after I file the claim.  But Thai are not smart enough to figure that out and we get screwed here as if we do not have insurance.

    The is no OA visa based upon marriage. You apparently have extended the one year entry it allowed based upon marriage to a Thai. No insurance is required for a extension based upon marriage.

    If you were to apply for a extension based upon retirement you would need to prove you have insurance.

    I do have an O/A and did all the paper work for a visa. 4000,00 in the bank.  T he visa application required the marriage license, pictures of the family a, copies of the house registration and wife id, and a number of other ideas I can't remember.  The passport should the day and had THAI Wife printed on the passport.  I know you can have an O/A for marriage.  Also had immigrations come to my house, talk to neighbors.

  4. I do not believe they will upset their China mates by stopping to buy the garage vaccine.  Now I do not want to see them charge an America full price to get a half a shot.  But be sure they will try.  So I have purchased two shots I either get money back for two half shots or I get 4 half shots.   Believe me 4 shots will not kill this old man.  It may even help him.
