ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
Inquiring about the best medical insurance for a ONE-year Non-O immigration visa (retirement), the consensus is that medical insurance is not a requirement for the Non-O visa applied for in Thailand, unlike the Non-OA visa that necessitates it when applied for in the UK. For those considering applying for a Non-OA after 60 days in Thailand, medical insurance and financial proof would be needed. A practical suggestion is to initially obtain a 3-month Non-O visa in the UK, then secure a 12-month extension in Thailand, which doesn't require insurance but does require a certain amount of money to be maintained in a Thai bank account.
