Some well-known insurers people often compare include Allianz, AIA, and AXA.

Each has different structures and pricing at that age, so it’s worth comparing the policy wording carefully.

For high blood pressure or high cholesterol, some insurers may still offer coverage if the condition is controlled, sometimes with adjusted premiums depending on the case.

For the Non-Immigrant O-A (Long Stay) retirement visa, health insurance is mandatory with at least 400,000 THB inpatient and 40,000 THB outpatient coverage, and it needs to stay valid for the duration of the visa.

The Non-Immigrant O (Retirement) visa obtained inside Thailand currently does not require insurance, but requirements can change.

For the 10-year LTR visa, the minimum requirement is USD 50,000 coverage (or meeting one of the alternative financial criteria).

For DTV holders, some international plans and some local plans can work, but coverage details vary a lot.
