ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion confirms that a retired OA visa typically cannot be issued for less than one year, but some expats have managed to obtain it with only 9 months of health insurance coverage. While the visa itself might be valid for a year, you do not necessarily have to utilize the full duration of your stay. There are differing experiences based on the embassy or consulate from which the visa is obtained; some require a full year's insurance while others may allow shorter durations if proper documentation is provided.
