Only Non O-A visa is required to purchase health insurance

I called Chiang Mai immigration and spoke to the officer on 7 April 2020, he confirmed the new requirement will apply to Non O-A visas ONLY. Health insurance is not required for foreigners who apply for an extension of stay based on retirement.
