@Marty ********
thank you. I was unaware you can get the non O retirement outside the country. Then why have O-A? Interested to know the difference. (Other than health insurance and background check)

@Greg **********
oh yes you’re right. It was a non-OA retirement. Which in my understanding is the only one available outside TH.

I’m speaking From my experience. I’ve been here 10 years so maybe it has changed but I don’t think so. When I got my non O retirement in DC I had to have insurance and provide a criminal defense check.

@Victor ***
if you get the non O retirement out side TH. Then you are required to have health insurance. If you come into TH. First by some appropriate 90 day visa and apply for the non O retirement inside TH. Then you are not required to have insurance.

@Ron *******
yes. Age is less of a factor for Travel Insurance. The OP asked about policy
David *********
IMO best to get extended travel insurance for that period of time. Here (and maybe many places) get you 2 ways. No coverage for any pre existing as well as “common illnesses” in your age group. Likely the best you will get is coverage for catastrophic injury caused be accident. Consider putting aside a great deal of money as your backup in needing medical care. That way if nothing happens you still have it. Good luck

Good luck.
