ORIGINAL POSTER

Retirement visa renewal - Just realised that my insurance which I have had forever does not include the needed 40,000 OPD - because I just pay as I go for OPD, even though I do have a decent inpatient limit, so I am scrambling around trying to get the add on ready for my renewal on 15th March.  My fault entirely - I just assumed because my inpatient limit is well over the requirement I was fine.  And of course the add on is not cost effective, but rules are rules.......   So just to check please - are there any other changes I need to know.  Bank rules I know about.  Lease is in Hubby's name but I have marriage cert, TM30, Thai Driving license etc.  There is no requirement yet for a police check?  Thanks all.

They are seeking advice on any other necessary changes or requirements, including bank rules and documentation. Comments confirm that if the visa is a Non-O, no health insurance is required, while an O-A visa does require it.

And as Tod said...With your Non O ...no health insurance required.

Be sure to look at your original stamps when you obtained your first retirement visa/extension. If it says O ...No health insurance needed.

If it says O-A ...then its required.

Good luck.

Okay, lets FIRST make sure you are on an O-A visa that you got from your country BEFORE you came here..
