TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion centers on the experiences of applying for the O-A Visa online from Australia. One commenter suggests considering the Non-OX Visa as an alternative. Others share their positive experiences, noting that the application process was straightforward and quick, with one person receiving approval in less than a week. A key tip is to avoid applying too early, as the visa approval must align with travel plans to Thailand.

Yes, I did it a few weeks ago. Super easy and took less than a week to get approved.

Just make sure you don’t apply too early as you have to arrive in Thailand 🇹🇭 within 3 months of approval

Thanks for this. Just one question if I may, how did you get on with the medical certificate? My GP for the last 40yrs will do it, but he won't sign the form & wants to issue his own. He also wants to do a full medical. I've explained that I do not need a full check up at the moment, but rather confirmation that I do not have the any of the specified prohibitive diseases. You only have to look at me to see that I do not have leprosy, elephantiasis a drug addiction or alcoholism, so just a chest x-ray for TB and a urinalysis for drugs & alcohol (don't drink anyway)!

Apologies, I mustn’t have had my glasses on when I read your post. I thought you were asking about a Non O. Sorry.

Have you considered the Non-OX, if not check it out?

Hi Graham. Yes I did but I do not need it. I am retired and have no intention of ever working again, so the OA will do me nicely. I also considered the Elite, but I'm struggling to justify the 1.5m baht 'membership' fee which is only for the initial 5 year period and what they do not tell you is that it is payable AGAIN each time you re-apply, so if I stay in Thailand for 20 years I will effectively be throwing away 6,000,000 baht or AUD285,000. I've easily got the money, but have neither the need nor desire to throw it away.

I had OA went to OX. Was 300aud for OA 1 year+ 1 and 600aud for 5 + 5 made more sense

You cannot work on a Non-OX, if if effectively a longer version of the Non-OA and is popular with Aussie citizens due to the financial requirements (Aussie bank not a Thai bank)

Can I obtain a yearly multiple-entry Non-O visa as an Australian citizen married to a Thai woman?
