Retirement visa issued in Chicago he stamped out after the first year and then back in and is now finishing up the second year he went in to find out about getting it renewed at immigration here in Chiangmai . They

Told him he had to buy insurance he doesn’t need insurance because he has an excellent policy from his old employer that covers him worldwide . should he just let the current one expires and then start over on a brand new retirement visa here in country he has all the requirements you would need 800,000 in the bank etc . What’s the best course of action for him ?

yes, sit this one out, leave the country doing a border run for a new Visa Exempt Entry, next day visit Immigration and apply for the conversion to the Non Immigrant O visa and after 60 days apply for the 1 year Extension of Stay.
