ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a retirement visa in Thailand, it's important to differentiate between the Non O visa and the Non OA visa. The Non O visa, which is available for individuals over 50, does not require health insurance. In contrast, the Non OA visa does require health insurance, and you'll need to provide a policy certificate from your insurer as part of the application process. Thus, if you are applying for the Non OA visa, ensure your insurance meets the necessary requirements.
