Hi, my parents are going to apply for an OA visa in Thailand for a year. I heard that they still have to report to immigration every 3 months? Do they have to pay something every three months at immigration?
Thank you
TLDR : Answer Summary
When your parents apply for an OA visa in Thailand, they will be required to report to immigration every 90 days, which is commonly referred to as a TM47 form. This report incurs no fees and can typically be completed online. It's important to note that the OA visa itself must be applied for outside of Thailand, usually in their home country, as it cannot be obtained within Thailand. Additionally, some commenters suggest that a Non-O visa could be more advantageous since it does not require compulsory health insurance.
