ORIGINAL POSTER

In August my Extension of Stay for my Non Imm,  OA visa, based of retirement, is due for renewal.

My question is, do I still require the health insurance from one of the approved Thai insurance companies or, will my 'normal' policy suffice. 

Thanks in advance

This isn't an insurance advice group. We can't verify any third-party insurance companies that offer insurance. The only insurance company we can recommend is the official Thai government insurance site.

If you read the question I was only asking if the Thai insurance is required for extension of stay.

No more.

My comment wasn't directed at you, it was directed at the group in general. I didn't want to see this post become full of "contact person X at company Y for best deals"
