What are my options for health insurance with a Non-OA visa in Thailand considering my medical conditions?
Hi members...
I'm looking at visa to suit me...Thinking of AO over 50 retirement. But hear you need health insurance... Having a few medical conditions that most insurers don't want to know me...And brokers want arms and a leg...
1. Can I self assure if I provide funds in bank
2. Can I just insure and not include my conditions.
Looking for best options
Have defacto relationship
Of over 10 years....
And been supporting...
Helpful information be good

Cheers 🍻

Answer summary
The individual is considering the non-OA retirement visa but has concerns regarding health insurance due to pre-existing medical conditions and high costs. The community clarified that self-insurance is not allowed for the non-OA visa; approved insurance from designated Thai companies is mandatory. Alternatively, they suggested considering the non-O visa, which does not have the same insurance requirements.

You have to get insurance from a company approved by Thai immigration

First of all, it's the non-OA visa, not the AO visa.
You cannot self-insure for non-OA. You must purchase approved insurance from one of the approved Thai companies on the embassy list.
If you don't want to have to worry about insurance, get the non-O visa instead. That does not require insurance, medical certificate, or background check like the non-OA visa requires.
