TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion focuses on the types of medical insurance relevant for those applying for a retirement visa in Thailand, particularly the O-A visa, which requires health insurance. These travelers are advised to consider basic travel medical insurance, especially if they are new to securing such coverage. Some participants emphasize that travel insurance can be beneficial but is not a requirement for most visas, while others suggest alternative resources for more detailed information.

Google is your friend, sadly this group is not. :O

It's got a very limited and specific scope and that is questions about thai visas/extensions.

You can certainly open a thread in a f/b group that covers where you live in thailand and get as much info as you want on it.

Sorry, good luck (y)

Travel insurance is a good investment and not to be confused with the new OA visa requirement for HEALTH insurance. Some UK banks offer travel insurance as part of their current account packages that's very economical.

Basic travel medical insurance is not a requirement for a visa. Sorry, for insurance questions you have to use google.
