Not starting a bun fight but imho he is not staying in Thailand on annual extensions to his non o visa. It's misleading. Visas cannot be extended. He is obtaining annual extension to his permission of stay. That would have been obtained prior to non o expire date. 

That's why this rubbish for folk entered Los many years ago on O-A requiring insurance is a discrace.

Do you mean he must purchase his own health insurance?

A OA long stay visa is only issued at embassies or official Thai consulate in your home country or country of legal residence based upon being 50 or over for retirement. It allows unlimited one year entries for year from the date of issue

A non-o visa can be issued for various reasons such as marriage, retirement, being a family member of person staying here, volunteer work and etc. A non-o visa allows a 90 day entry.

If your friend has extended a 90 day permit to stay from a non-o visa he does not need to prove he has health insurance.

Thanks for your reply. I noticed he was allowed a one-year stay for retirement every year.

Does he need a health insurance from now on?

Hello, my friend aged 71 holds a retirement visa. He obtained it directly from the Thai Immigration Bureau, but not from the Thai embassies or consulates overseas. 

I'd like to know the difference between non-immigrant category O-A visa and non-immigrant category O visa based on retirement or Thai wife. Say, According to the immigration beaure, only foreign retirees holding non-immigration O-A visa must buy a designated Helath Insurance, on the contrary, Health insurance is not required for those applying for an extension of stay of a non-immigrant category O visa based on retirement or Thai wife.

Is his current visa regarded as a non-immigrant category O-A visa? Or just a non-immigrant category O visa based on retirement?  He is single and does not have a wife.

Please note this was just registering for online TM30 reporting.

I was not doing a TM30 report.....that will come next week after I return from Singapore.

Hence, only receipt so far are 2 emails confirming successful Registration and Username/Password.

We'll see how the actual submission of the TM30 report works out.

Oh, Sorry for my misunderstanding. I'd like to your future's work out. Thanks

After the Submit button a message appears at the top of the page saying an email will be sent to me confirming the email address. This came almost immediately which contained a link to click and confirm the email address.

This was followed by a second email stating that the Registration was successful and including a Username and Password with a note to log on and change the password.

I logged on, changed the password,  to which an onscreen message appeared saying changes received.

I was using the Opera Browser on old Windows XP.

Also all files attached cannot be larger than 1mb, so a couple of my photos had to be resized  

Will tackle the 90 reporting next and get that running online too.

So does it mean that you've got an official receipt from the Thai immigration by your confirming E-mail. For me, I did it by Samsung phone, however I failed to receive any receipt regardless of the

screen saying my report was completed.

Hello, how did you know your precedure had been completely over. Have you got an online receipt ?
