Hi. Wondering if you can clarify different processes for getting Non Imm O for Retirement or a Non Imm O-A for retirement. Why would someone apply for an O-A when it requires Health Insurance (Thai Insurers 80k - 100k + depending on age)?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The Non-Immigrant O visa offers 90 days of stay, requiring a one-year extension at Immigration, while the Non-Immigrant O-A visa provides a one-year stay from the start. The O-A visa requires health insurance but allows funds in foreign banks to count towards financial eligibility, appealing to retirees who prefer to keep their money outside Thailand.
