Requirements for purchasing health insurance abroad in order to apply for a retirement visa

       A retirement visa is a visa that allows foreigners to stay in Thailand for 1 year, provided they are over 50 years old and intend to spend the rest of their life in Thailand (Non-Immigrant O Long-Stay Visa).

       The issue of health insurance is considered a matter that affects people’s quality of life, especially the elderly, who are at risk of having health problems during their stay in Thailand; therefore, retirement visas require the purchase of health insurance. But besides purchasing Thai health insurance, visa applicants can also purchase foreign health insurance for a retirement visa.

       In the case of purchasing foreign health insurance or having government benefits from abroad, it must be certified by the foreign embassy in Thailand, or the signature of the person authorized to sign the documents presented must be certified (notary) by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the applicant’s country of residence
