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.
NON-O RETIREMENT VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES
  • Go to the Retirement Visa Section for information on requirements, including age restrictions, financial requirements, and necessary documentation.
  • For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
  • Explore recent discussions by using the Non-O Retirement Visa tag in the search box at the top of the page.
  • Join the Thai Visa Advice Facebook Group to ask your questions, and get advice from others.
