A mate of mine in his 70's is applying in Ireland for his retirement visa.
Is there any Thai Insurance policies he could use as the Irish one are really expensive.
Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
A person in Ireland is asking about Thai insurance options for a friend applying for a retirement visa. It is clarified in the comments that the specific visa type matters: the Non-O visa does not require medical insurance, while the Non-OA visa does. Various Thai insurance policies, such as AXA Easy Care, are recommended for those who need insurance to satisfy the requirements of the Non-OA visa.
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.
If your friend is applying for the OA visa AXA Easy Care Visa is a policy specifically for this and is the most popular, can buy directly online with instant confirmation.
What kind of retirement visa is he applying for? The Non-O based on being over 50 doesn't have an insurance requirement. Saying that it's sensible to have insurance and over the age of 70 it's pretty expensive
if he's applying from Ireland he has to apply via the Thai consulate in London. For the Non-O based on being over 50 there is no insurance requirement, if he wants to apply for the Non-OA then there is
Your friend is applying for the wrong visa if they are asking for proof of medical insurance. The only retirement visa that requires that is the non-OA visa, and that's not the visa that most people want. It has high requirements like mandatory medical insurance, health certificate and criminal background check.
Most people want the 90 day non-O visa, which has none of those requirements.
