Do I Need Health Insurance for Retirement Extensions in Thailand After Having a Non-B Visa?

Retirement Extension Health Insurance Non-B Visa

ORIGINAL POSTER

Another question on health insurance for retirement extensions (sorry). I was working here with a non-B visa and then moved to a retirement extension at Chaeng Wattana Immigration. The original non-B visa is stamped “VOID” but there is no mention of any new visa type in my passport. I’m coming up to the expiry of my second retirement extension soon. 

Has anyone in this situation tried to renew an extension since 1 Nov and if so was insurance required? 

Thanks for any advice / information

NO health insurance required...ONLY IF YOU HAVE AN O-A visa...which you do not.

You are not on an OA visa, or an extension of an OA visa, therefore you do not require health insurance. For mandatory health insurance to be required you must have originally purchased an OA visa in your home country. You didn’t, so your fine.
