ORIGINAL POSTER

As part of the visa application, they asked for a HD digitized photo, is this an ID photo that I have to scan in HD? Where is a link, a file that I have to forward with my visa application?

Another question, I have to provide an insurance certificate for my OA visa with a cover of 3000000 Baths. What kind of insurance would you recommend, with good value for money?

Thank you for your advice.

Dans le cadre de la demande de visa, il est demandé une photo numérisée HD, s’agit-Il d’une photo d’identité que je dois scanner en HD ? Où d’une lien, d’un fichier que je dois transmettre avec ma demande de visa ?

Autre question, je dois fournir une attestation d’assurance pour mon visa OA avec une couverture de 3000000 Baths. Quelle assurance pourriez-vous me conseiller, d’un bon rapport qualité/prix.

Merci pour vos conseils.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring about the requirements for submitting an HD digitized photo and insurance certificate for their OA visa application in Thailand. They seek clarification on whether the HD photo refers to a standard ID photo that needs to be scanned and the specific insurance that needs to be obtained, with a coverage of 3,000,000 Baht. Community comments suggest using a photo with a white background under 3MB and mention that there are approved insurance providers for the necessary coverage.

HD is a VIDEO standard, not a PHOTO standard. Just make sure it’s a clear photo.

Also, file size is irrelevant. A jpg that is 3MB can be compressed to 150KB with no visible loss. 👍

Is there a reason people choose O-A over other visas? Just wondering.

ah, I see. Can people not do O visa in home country instead of O-A for retirement?

they can, but then they only get 90 days in Thailand before they have to apply for the extension which requires 800,000 in a Thai bank account. With an OA visa you can get 2 years in Thailand without ever needing a Thai bank account
