I have been reading today about the Thai government to insist on foreigners having health insurance when applying  for or renewing their O-A visa when over 50 yrs old. What  is an O-A visa or is this a misprint?

Answer summary

The O-A visa, also referred to as a long-stay visa for retirees, is designed for foreigners over 50 years old who wish to stay in Thailand for an extended period. Recent discussions indicate that the Thai government may mandate health insurance for foreigners applying for or renewing their O-A visa to enhance their access to healthcare during their stay.
