Is the health insurance requirement still 3 million THB for the O-A Retirement Visa in Thailand?

So you are not applying for a Non-OA extension but a new Non-OA Visa outside Thailand before returning therefore look at the Embassy/Consulate website where you will be applying for their specific requirements

I suggest you as your local immigration and get handed over their requirements. But normally requirements for extension is thai health insurance covering 400K baht. (At the embassies for issuing visa it’s still 3 million baht). This is the list over approved companies

Ok, the regular Non O still doesn’t have any mandatory health insurance requirements, only the one year Non O-A visa. And the requirements maintains also for your future Extensions of Stays.

That’s why several people on a stay based on a Non O-A visa leave and cancel their visa. Re-enter on a visa exemption or tourist visa and apply for a regular Non O visa in country instead just to get rid of the mandatory health insurance requirement.

Yes, health insurance is very important and I think the main reason why people wish to cancel the mandatory one approved by the Thai immigration is because it’s said to be expensive VS coverage.
