Requirements for purchasing Thai health insurance for a retirement visa

       A retirement visa is a visa for foreigners who want to stay in Thailand for a long time; it allows visa holders to stay in Thailand for 1 year (renewable). They must be foreigners who are over 50 years old and want to spend the rest of their life in Thailand. 

       This type of visa is officially known as a Non-Immigrant O Long-Stay Visa. When retired foreigners come to Thailand, one thing the elderly ought to consider is health insurance, because there is a risk that they may have health problems during their stay in Thailand.

       Therefore, there is a requirement that foreigners who wish to apply for a Non-Immigrant Visa, O-A code, buy health insurance. They must have health insurance or government welfare from abroad or from Thailand, with coverage for medical expenses and have insurance covering the treatment of coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19); the coverage must be not less than 100,000 US dollars or 3,000,000 baht, lasting  throughout the period of residence in the Kingdom. In the case of buying Thai health insurance, online purchase can be done through the website longstay.tgia.org.
