First retirement visa renewal coming up.
Question:
One does not need health insurance or medical certificate when renewing inside Thailand?
I hear conflicting things from google about this requirement being implemented but no official sites show this as a requirement.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The requirement for health insurance or a medical certificate when renewing a retirement visa in Thailand primarily depends on the type of visa originally acquired. If the individual entered with a Non-OA visa, there is no insurance requirement for renewal. However, those who originally held an OA visa must have insurance to extend their visas, and it is a lifelong requirement once established.
