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.
