Went to renew my one year retirement visa today this would have been my sixth renewal. I entered 7 years ago on with an OA visa from the Thai embassy London. Last year renewed with out issues however today was refused due to not having insurance. My argument was that my OA visa was replaced by extension of stay based on retirement. Apparently not was told it’s still an OA visa thinking this was just the interpretation of that office went to another in the same district, got the same rejection. Was told I would have to leave the country without re-entry permit return on a 30 day then extend before applying for a new visa that is Not OA might just add I was not on my own 7 others had the same problem I have a month before I would need to leave so any information would be appreciated.

Regards
