I thought I'd go looking for confirmation that "the Thai cabinet approved mandatory health insurance for people who BUY a year-long, multi-entry Non-Immigrant Type O-A visa from a Thai consulate in their home country BEFORE they wing their way here" so I googled Thai cabinet retirement visa health insurance but found only a story barely a week old that a recommendation had been made to cabinet but none that a decision had been made by cabinet. https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-ne...al-conditions/
A thread on the Whiners & Whingers Forum dated only two days ago states "As many of our readers know, the Thai government is considering requiring health insurance for those staying in Thailand with an O-A visa" - which suggests that decision has been made: https://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic...irements-fair/
Are you able to provide a link that it's a Thai cabinet approved policy, Jim?
