TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is concerned about submitting their one-year retirement visa application (OA) to the Thai Embassy in London and whether their travel plans will be affected if they miss the application deadline. They seek insights on whether the embassy will reject their application due to their Thai medical insurance not including a company certificate. Community responses indicate that there is still time to apply and clarify that while Thai medical insurance isn't mandatory, having travel insurance that covers them while in Thailand is sufficient.

Just fly out to Thailand as already discussed and arranged. Forget Thai eVisa online.. And calling / emailing RTC Ldn is a complete waste of time as they don't pick up the telephone or reply to emails!!!

You can sort everything out once in the Country 🙏🙂
