I have a 60 day Tourist visa, can I apply for an O-A 12 month multiple entry visa in Thailand or do I have to first apply in Australia due to the list of requirements such as police check, health insurance and medical certificate.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A 60-day Tourist visa holder can explore options to switch to a Non-O visa while in Thailand, which is generally easier than applying for an O-A visa that necessitates health insurance and background checks. Upon reaching 50 years of age, one may apply for a 90-day Non-O visa and then extend it for a year. The process typically involves obtaining bank funds, applying for the visa, and may include the option of a re-entry permit for travel.
