How soon can I apply for a Non O-A retirement visa for Thailand from the UK?

Non O-A Visa Retirement Visa Thailand Visa Application Health Insurance Requirement Thai Embassy London Visa Rules for Expats

May 17, 2019

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello everyone.

If my BF (English national)  wants to arrive in Thailand in early November this year, how soon can he apply for the retirement visa (Non O-A) from the Thai Embassy in London? I cannot find the info anywhere. Is it 3 months before your arrival at the earliest like the Tourist visa? 

Also when is the health insurance going to be a requirement? We cannot keep up with the changes at the moment. My BF has given up and it is now my job to deal with this. LOL

I don't think the above will be our last questions either. :) 

Thanks in advance and be happy wherever you are!
