TLDR : Answer Summary

The conversation revolves around whether travel insurance can be used to satisfy the medical insurance requirements for a retirement visa (specifically Non-O and Non-OA visas) in Thailand. Responses indicate that while travel insurance might be acceptable for entry into Thailand, it does not meet the requirements for Non-OA/ Non-OX visas, which stipulate that insurance must be from an approved provider.

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.

Travel insurance only covers you for 60 or 90 day periods out of your home country. You might get a Non Imm O but you wont get the OA visa.

No. For the Non-OA/ Non-OX visa, it must be an approved insurance provider. See

For entry into Thailand to get the Certificate of Entry, it's a possibility, however most have a 15 day waiting period, which is worthless.
