Good evening folks from California

I finished the long process of gathering all the requirements needed for my OA retirement visa and submitted them today and got the confirmation that the submission had been completed

Now I will wait for revisement/approval

My question is has anyone else had problems with making the payment for this process?

I went on to the site for payment and tried several different cards could not get it to work

It goes through a company called "Worldpay"

If you have any experience with this and or solutions I would much appreciate the help 🙏

Have you any updates on your OA visa application? I'm going to submit our OA & O applications tomorrow. Wondering the approximate processing times. (I know they will vary, depending)

Yes I'm flying on the 21st but just got my second vaccination which means I won't be considered fully vaccinated until the 10th of December

And then I will send in my Thailand pass info

I have heard that if you have the QR code for your vaccine information 🦠 it goes much quicker

If you send in your vaccine info without QR code they have to do it manually from what I've heard which takes between five and seven days

Thanks for the information. We're in FL. Got our vax at Walgreen, who also registers it with the FL Dept of Health. Neither of those make QR codes for vaccine proof. So, googled it up and seems can get a QR code from CDC. Will be doing this ASAP! Thanks for the heads up. This is getting to be a pain... We've moved states since getting a OA visa in 2018. My Doc here wanted me to get a syphilis & tb test. My Doc back in NC, just looked at the form, laughed, and signed.... Hoping to get the Doctor to sign form tomorrow

You must pay by clicking on “pay with google pay” then load your credit card in google pay.

Thank you Tony this was a wonderful and helpful follow up on my post, I clicked on the

" Google pay"

And it worked wonderful

Why they have this option below to pay that does not work I don't know just another ridiculous hoop Thailand immigration is making foreigners/retirees go through 😔🙃
