Are a Taiwanese Citizen? You have to be in your home country to apply for an OA visa.

Doesn't look like Taiwan does a Non-O for retirement. Can you get a Non-O inside Thailand? No insurance requirement other than for the Thai pass but have to put money in a Thai bank

You misunderstood what I meant, I mean if I apply for a non-O visa in Thailand after 3 months and want to convert to a non-OA visa, do I need to buy insurance?

you can't do that. You would need to return to your home country to apply for a Non-OA and abide by the rules for that.

Can I only buy covid-19 insurance when entering and leaving Thailand within the validity period after I have obtained the OA visa in Thailand?

you can't by an OA in Thailand. See above. You would buy an O, it has no insurance requirement. Thai pass is a separate thing, it requires insurance to enter Thailand, 30 days cover is enough and it's not expensive

You can't apply for a Non-OA inside Thailand but you can apply for a Non-O inside Thailand. The Non-O doesn't require insurance. You could enter Thailand on a tourist visa, open a bank account, transfer in 800k baht from overseas then apply for the initial Non-O which gives you 90 days. Before that 90 days expires you apply for a 12 months extension to the Non-O. The only insurance you would need would be for the Thai pass to enter Thailand on the tourist visa.

Most people that want an OA get it because they don't have to show any money in Thailand and can show the funds in a bank account in their home country.
