What are the experiences and tips for applying for a Non O-A Retirement visa from the Thai Embassy in Canberra?
Hi Just like to relate my pleasant experience Thai Embassy Canberra for Non O-A Retirement.
Applied on my birthday 50, had it back on 5th day incl postage .
Money (AUD 40K +) was only deposited weeks before & statement ordered & printed, police check, medical certificate all notarized by a JP for free. . Altogether cost less than $400. Can now get 2 years (single entry on 2nd year) from this. So much easier than in Thailand.
Assuming i get let in next week 55. Best option if you are traveling home IMO.

You can get multiple entries/exits the second year. Just get a re-entry permit at the airport as you leave allowing you back in. Single or multiple re-entry permits are available.

yes correct thanksTod *********
Glad it worked out (y) That O-A visa is definitely the easiest thing to do (if you're in your country ;) )
Now just make sure that the immigration officer stamps you in for a whole year when you stamp in. A LOT of people get stamped in wrong on that visa for some reason..
