What Are the Differences Between O and O-A Visas in Thailand?
What is the difference between an O and an O-A visa please ?
Answer summary
The O visa is valid for 90 days and can be applied for at various Thai consulates worldwide, suitable for individuals married to a Thai national or who are volunteering, among other reasons. The O-A visa is specifically for individuals over 50 years old, grants a one-year entry, and must be applied for in the applicant's home country.
