I have some very basic questions.
1. What is the difference between O and OA visas? What do the letters O and OA stand for?
1. What does the Non in Non O and Non OA stand for - is it Non immigrant? If so what is meant by immigrant?
1. In the light of the above what is the difference between an O and a Non O visa
1. Someone said they had a multi O visa - what does the multi mean?
Thanks for any help.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses the differences between O and OA visas in Thailand, explaining that 'O' stands for 'Other', which includes marriage, retirement, and volunteer reasons for residing in Thailand. The term 'Non' refers to 'non-immigrant', indicating that the visa holder does not plan to become a Thai citizen. It clarifies that there is no practical difference between O and Non-O visas, emphasizing that a Multi O visa allows multiple entries into Thailand, unlike a single-entry visa that is used upon first entry. Additional comments provide insights into the OA visa, detailing requirements and extensions.
