How can I apply for the 1 year O-A Thai Retirement Visa online if the Evisa system only shows the 90 day O visa option?
I am a UK citizen living in the UK and applying for, and trying to get , the 1 year O - A Thai Retirement Visa. I understand that there is now a mandatory requirement that the application by done online via the Evisa website a. I have all the necessary documentation (ie the £20k in the bank for 3 months and police and medical check), but the system appears only to allow the option to apply for the 90 day O visa. The Thai London Embassy's website appears to allow the application for the O - A 1 year retirement visa, but the Evisa system does not appear to allow it. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Answer summary
A UK citizen seeking a 1 year O-A Thai Retirement Visa is encountering issues with the Evisa system, which currently only provides the option for a 90 day O visa. Although the Thai Embassy in London allows the application for the O-A visa, the Evisa system seems to be limiting options. Community members suggest clearing old applications and starting anew to find the correct application option. Additional resources and posts from group members may also provide guidance.

They have taken some choices out and regrouped others.
It confused me last week.

OPI have had so many problems with this new Evisa system. Previously I was unable to have the upload documentation option at step 5. Until I found out from another forum that .. under the option "occupation" I should put "retired", even though I am currently working and intend retiring once I have the visa. The old system was much easier.
