Thailand Visa question No. 038/24: Convert Non-O to Non-B
I recently entered Thailand on a Non-O marriage visa. Found a nice job a little faster than expected at a small Thai company, but which meets all the requirements to hire foreigners. The secretary then applied for a work permit for me with all the necessary documents. Once there, the officer states that a Non-B visa is required. Maybe I overlooked that and won't argue about it.

Once I did this, I saw January 22 behind “Date of grant”, and January 22 behind “Visa must be used by”, the same date. Below that, after “length of stay in Thailand” it says 60 days.

Questioner: Arno Heden looked on the website of the Thai Consulate in The Hague to see what the requirements are for this visa. To my great dismay, Thailand still requires a (healthcare) insurance statement that includes the requirement that Covid costs are covered up to at least USD 100.000.
