TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, you can use a medical insurance policy from a UK company when applying for the O-A retirement visa in Thailand, as long as it meets the visa requirements. The insurance company may need to complete a specific form confirming coverage. Additionally, it's advisable to request an endorsement letter from the insurance provider that includes coverage details, especially for Covid-19.

Ask the insurance company for an endorsement letter stating your covered for covid up to whatever figure ...... Usually 5 or 10 mill

Yep, you can indeed use an insurance policy in the UK that meets the requirements for the O-A visa. When you apply for it there should be a form you have your insurance company fill out that states you meet the requirements

OR

on the website that lists the 14 approved thai insurance companies there is a link to the form too

that’ s for the first year only. Starting from the first extension, the insurance has to be purchased via Longstay thaï companies.

correct, and I was not saying anything to the contrary.

all I was stating is that you CAN use insurance in your country to buy an O-A visa
