If I get my 12 month retirement visa done in Thailand will I need a medical certificate. If I need a medical certificate can I get it done in Thailand or should I get it done before arriving in Thailand.
Answer summary
To obtain a 12-month retirement visa (Non-OA), you must apply from your home country, as it cannot be processed in Thailand. If you aim for a 90-day Non-O visa instead, it can be obtained in Thailand if you have a Thai bank account. For the Non-O visa, a medical certificate is not necessary, and no insurance is required for the 12-month retirement visa.

You’ll need a non-o to apply for the one year extension and no insurance is needed
non OA can only be done in your home country ....for nonO it can be done in thailand IF you already have a thai bank acct if dont have it is advised to apply for nonO outside of thailand
You can only get a 12 month Non-OA visa in your home country so you need to apply there before you travel. You can only get a 90 day Non-O visa inside Thailand but only if you already have a Thai bank account, the Non-O doesn't require insurance, police check etc but still your better to get it before you travel
