Is health insurance required for a Non-O (retirement) visa extension in Jomtien?
If I arrive with a Non o (retirement) visa and do my 1 yr extension in Jomtien, will there be a health insurance requirement? Tia
Answer summary
When extending a Non-O (retirement) visa in Jomtien, there is no health insurance requirement for the one-year extension. However, you must have 800,000 THB in a Thai bank account in your name or provide a financial statement from your embassy.

But you will need 800k in a Thai bank in your name only brought in from abroad or if your embassy issues a financial statement you can use that

***he is a U.S. citizen (by his profile) so there won’t be an embassy affidavit of income. He will definitely need to use the 800,000 THB deposit method in the first year ***he needs to open a Thai bank account immediately after entering
***there is NO NEED for proof of foreign source for the minimum of 800,000 THB in his Thai bank account when applying for the 1-year EOS
*** for the application to the “1-year extension of stay based on retirement”, he needs proof of a 2-months seasoning, though

that's good to know about the no proof of overseas funding. I've had a bank account for more than 2 years and proving that would be a lot of paperwork. I just added to make it 800k, so will have over 2 months "seasoning"Mike ********

I'm saying to prove funded from overseas would take paperwork from almost 3 years of depositsNongnuch ********
@Mike *******
well the seasoning does start as soon as the deposit is higher than 800,000 THB and never falls below that. It doesn't start when you open the accountBob **********
@Nongnuch *******
yes I forgot the 2 months seasoningBrandon ************
An extension from a 90 day non-O visa does not have an insurance requirement.
