Non O-A retirement visa -

I need some advice on #6. I have insurance (WRLife) for Thailand with more than the minimum. My US issued insurance is Medicare. I looked on the TGIA website and, as I understand, the cert is only required for companies not originating policies in Thailand. Is that correct?
Answer summary
