The basic medical insurance is needed to apply for a non-o visa based upon retirement. It only needs to be valid for 90 days.
If you do not want deal with the insurance and applying for the non-o visa you could enter visa exempt to get a 30 day stay and then apply for the non-o visa at immigration and then the one year extension near the end of the 90 day stay it allows.

Hi everyone, I'm currently on an OA-retirement visa.
So I'm assuming I that I can use the requirements/instructions provided in the linked pdf (9.FOR-RETIREMENT-PURPOSES-50-YEARS-OLD-NON-O.pdf) to change to a retirement O Visa, simply by:
-leaving thailand, before my OA Visa expires
- returning on a 30 transit visa with my Canadian passport
- go directly to immigration to apply for the 90 day Non O Visa
- then extend for 1 year, before the 90 day visa expires... & In future, simply extend another year of still in thailand
. correct?
