Quick question and thanks in advance.
I have a non O A retirement visa, which I renew yearly in America. Last year of course I couldn't, so I extended at Krabi immigration. Requirements were proof of health insurance and 800,000 baht.
If I fly back to the US and renew from there, does anyone know definitely if the same health insurance and seasoned money in the bank will be required upon returning to Thailand?
TLDR : Answer Summary
When renewing a Non-OA retirement visa from the US, you will need to meet specific requirements, including providing proof of health insurance and demonstrating 800,000 THB in a Thai bank account or an equivalent amount in a foreign bank account. It's important to note that renewing a visa isn't a direct process of 'renewal' but rather a new application. While in the US, individuals can use funds in their US bank accounts to fulfill financial requirements for the visa application. Upon returning to Thailand, the health insurance must cover the full length of stay or correspond to the duration of the current extension. Additionally, the requirement to maintain a bank balance of 800,000 THB may vary based on the circumstances of your stay and the visa type under which you re-enter.
