Need advice... I hold an American passport with a non immigrant OA visa issued 3 March 2020. I have been unable to fly into Thailand because of travel bans. I attempted to contact the Thai embassy here in Los Angeles, but they are still closed. My question... any special considerations for retirement VISA holders allowing entry in the Kingdom? Also any possibility to add lost time to my initial Visa? Thanks for your responses!!
TLDR : Answer Summary
A U.S. passport holder with a non-immigrant OA visa issued on March 3, 2020, is seeking advice on entry considerations for retirement visa holders in Thailand amid travel bans. It is noted that retirees are currently not among the demographics allowed entry, and any unused time on the visa will not be added. However, since the visa was issued, the holder has until March 2021 to make their first entry, provided their health insurance policy is still active.
