Hi everyone

Finally have my criminal background check and also medical sign off and ready to submit for my retirement visa.

Do I need to show prove of insurance and have travel arrangements to apply for visa

I’m not sure when I will travel but wanted to get this part out of the way.

Thanks
Answer summary
To apply for a retirement visa (type OA) in Thailand, you must provide a criminal background check and medical documentation. Additionally, you need to show proof of medical insurance that includes at least 40,000 THB in outpatient coverage and 400,000 THB in inpatient coverage. Also, for your Certificate of Entry (COE), you will require insurance covering at least $100,000 for COVID-19. While you can apply for your visa without a confirmed travel date, having travel arrangements is part of the COE requirement.

For your type OA retirement visa, you must show that you have medical insurance that covers at least bt40,000 of out patient coverage, and bt400,000 of in patient coverage in order to get that visa. To get your certificate of entry to enter Thailand you must also have insurance that covers at least US$100,000 of covid-19 coverage.
