Hi I am extending 12 months non-O retirement visa. For previous years health insurance was not required- is it now mandatory ? Am I correct to say the earliest renewal is 45 days before expiry date, and funds must be in account 60 days before application ?
Many thanks ๐๐ป Wish you all a lovely day from Phangan ๐ด
TLDR : Answer Summary
The requirement for health insurance when renewing a Non-O retirement visa in Thailand depends on the type of visa issued. Health insurance is not mandatory for those entering on a Non-O visa but is required for a Non-OA visa. Regarding renewal, the earliest you can apply varies by immigration office, with some allowing applications 45 days before expiry and others as early as 30 days. Additionally, funds must be maintained in a Thai bank account for 2 months prior to the application, not 60 days as often stated.
