Can I reapply for a Non-Immigrant O-A Visa after returning from Thailand?

Just a reminder with the multiple non imm OA you must buy a re-entry permit for the second year (if you exit the country during the second year without a re-entry permit your visa is cancelled).

May i ask after the second year,

What need to be done in order to continue staying in Thailand?

Is it to reapply a new O-A non immigrant visa all over again?

Or we can exit and enter again to get another 1 year?

On this O-A visa, can we stay in Thai permanently?

It's a bit of of a mission to get this visa but still a decent option. I did this a couple of years ago from the UK ( retirement visa) you have to show proof of income, get a police check done, medical done ( prove you don't have lepracy and few other ancient illnesses lol) some people I spoke with had aggravation getting this done. I was charged £100 by a private doctor 😳 others a lot more, some a lot less. Then you have to spend a night in London ..dropping off then picking up your visa. Make sure you get to the embassy early, the staff inside can be really abrupt and rude. Don't bother calling the Thai embassy in London, they never answer..i think the cost of the visa itself was about £150 , don't forget you will need multiple copies of everything as well lol, you know anything to do with Visas and Thailand, it's not possible to store anything on a computer for future reference 😁

It’s definitely the way to go, I have been researching Visa’s for a while (I leave Thailand soon back to UK, but needed advice on the best way to go for my return, as not married and dare not try another tourist visa as have had 6 in 15 months) 🙏

Do you need to apply for a reentry permit for the second year?

Give that man a gold star! I believe it is currently the best way to deal with the new financial requirements for extending your stay on the O-A while in country.

Yep

definetly the way to go now

The visa is valid for 1 year and multiple Entry. If you enter Thailand just before the valid until or enter before date on the visa you still get 1 year of stay, meaning you can get almost 2 years of stay out of this visa. If you return to the UK you can apply, if you still meet all the requirements for a new visa.

Yes !
