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.
  • 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.

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.
