What type of visa do I need to return to Thailand after a retirement visa expiration?

I stand partially corrected. Neither a criminal history report nor a health certificate is mentioned on the government website. Health insurance, however, is a requirement, depending on the following: "Insured under a health insurance covering a minimum of USD 50,000 OR currently receiving social security benefits in Thailand OR deposit and maintain at least USD 100,000 in bank account balance under the applicant’s name for no less than 12 months." Link: The way I read this is that if your social security is being deposited directly into your Thailand bank (i.e., I know Bangkok Bank has a way of accommodating direct foreign government payments, but I don't know about the other banks) or you've seeded 100k baht in your Thai bank account for twelve straight months, then you wouldn't need the insurance. Seems a bit confusing to me, though, since this would imply you couldn't use the exemption until after twelve months, meaning you'd still need the insurance for the first year. Address reporting is required but has expanded to annually rather than quarterly. Additionally, along with reporting your address, you need to verify eligibility requirements are still being met. Personally, I may now go this route, especially since there's less paperwork than I originally thought, you only need verify your address annually, & you can apply online in your home country.
