Popular Post weegee 2,947 Posted October 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) As of 11am today, from Hatyai Immigration, who in my books are the greatest ,most helpful bunch of People i have ever delt with... UBON JOE is absolutely correct with everything he has stated...For God sake listen to him. TAKE NOTE :- Done the marriage extension today at 11am and this is what they told me. Anyone who is already here on Marriage extension DOES not have to worry about this Insurance Cover....even on renewal. NOT required The only ones required to do so are the people who are applying at an Embassy...OUTSIDE of Thailand. It is only applicable to NON-OA....NO one else. With regard to the number of days money is required to be in the Bank before for Marriage extension...it is definitely 60 days...PERIOD!!! Today I asked all the questions i could think of to be able to relay to the forum here. So there you go.. Hope this helps you all out a bit more...

Popular Post Jingthing 69,937 Posted October 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2019 OK. That's one report. Here's a question I bet you didn't ask them. What about those O-A visa people effected if/when they first go for annual extension in Thailand? Insurance required or not? 7 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Clearly states only Non O-A visa applicants need insurance. Extenders don't need once inside Thailand. 7 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Can't find this bit quoted anywhere in the police order Quote Actually....YES I did... So you got the exact opposite answer to Tanochi when he asked at both his local Imm Office and the Immigration call centre in Bangkok. So this really shows the answer you and Tanochi got is still just speculation. One of the official replies you both received as got to be wrong.

AFAIK, there was never any question or serious indication that the latest insurance requirement was in any way going to apply to marriage extensions of stay or even to O visas based on marriage. The still looming question, though, among others, is will the insurance requirement apply to people who already have O-A visas issued BEFORE Oct. 31 who then make entry to Thailand on that visa AFTER Oct. 31. On that issue, among others, there is considerable speculation. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

That's the million dollar question of the month... I believe UbonJoe believes not. But others believe it will be required, including based on some comments received from some Immigration offices.... At this point, I'd say, it's pretty unclear. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites
