Got my 90 day non-o today and in less than 60 days will apply for one year retirement non-o visa. And yes...no insurance required.

Been there done that. Non-o does not need insurance and non-o-a does require insurance.

going through it all now. I have already had 4 retirement visas. Why on earth would I make this up? Been doing this for many years. Thirteen to be exact. I can provide you with picture of first entry you believe I am making this up too

mine was for extension of retirement visa non-o-a which I secured onlime using monthly income. I did not need to show them monthly deposit. At that time immigration said if I deposit 800k in bank I can change to non-o and is more easy and not so much busy paperwork with proof of income and medical insurance would not be required. I, incidentally am going to Nonthaburi office today if I am approved to apply for retirement visa non-o. I know many offices can be a little different and the rules always changing. Copies, copies, copies!!!

Its getting more and more difficult to open a bank account on a tourist visa. I first got a retirement visa non-o-a and qualified showing enough monthly income and also health insurance. I did secure a bank account and am now in the process of changing my visa from non-o-a to a non-o. One also has to show proof of 800,000baht in the bank 60 days prior to applying for a non-o visa which doesn't require health insurance. Confused yet?
