TLDR : Answer Summary

The Thai government does not accept travel insurance, including nomad insurances such as SafetyWing, for a retirement visa. Proper medical insurance is required for this visa type. It's also noted that for the Non-O visa or its extension, health insurance is not mandatory.

Go to the Retirement Visa Section for information on requirements, including age restrictions, financial requirements, and necessary documentation.
