Do I need to provide health insurance for a Non-Immigration O (Retirement) visa application from the UK?

John ********

It's much easier for you to come to Thailand and once you are here then apply for the visa and you don't need to worry about the insurance, also you can find a insurance company that suits you once you are in Thailand. But I can tell you that it's not cheap for health insurance
