TRYING VERY HARD TO EARN 2019 "IDIOT OF THE YEAR" AWARD!
This enquiry is prompted by the new Medical Insurance requirement. I am 69 years old and live in Thailand.
How do I know whether I have an "O", "O-A" or "O-X" Non-Immigration Visa? I have been happily renewing at CW what I simply thought was called a Retirement Visa every year since 2010.
I attach the stamps from my passport together with a screen capture from a visa descriptive page from the UK Thai Embassy.
Thanking you in advance.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user seeks clarification on distinguishing between 'O', 'O-A', and 'O-X' Non-Immigration Visas, having renewed their retirement visa in Thailand since 2010. According to the comments, the 'O-X' visa was not available in 2010, so the user must check their original visa stamp to determine whether they hold an 'O' or 'O-A' visa. It's important for retirement visa holders to understand these distinctions, especially with new health insurance requirements now in effect.
