Why would the Thai government give non-O instead of non-OA? Why do both visa's exist? In any case, I do have health insurance (but not Thai but that is not much money) so that issue doesn't matter for me. Is that the only difference?

What is the motivation for Thai immigration to grant non-O rather than non-OA. I have health insurance so I can apply for both. I still don't know what is the advantage of one over the other. As a Dutch I am also qualified for a non-OX but again I can't find the advantages of that.

Probably O-A, no? I think it is the best for long stay. After 30 years I am not going to live anywhere else if I can help it.

I plan to retire in Thailand after having lived here for 30 years already but I have an excellent international health insurance (Cigna). Surely I would not have to apply for a Thai health insurance as well, no?

Yes, but many of my friends need to show the copies of their TM30 when they extend their retirement visa.
