Afternoon all.
I have a genuine question. I live here in Thailand with my Thai wife and our 2 children.
We would all really like to know if there is a way that we can get my parents (both aged over 70) to Thailand for a few months.
They have the required funds in banks etc and the ASQ etc isn't an issue.
Can they apply for the O-A (1-year retirement) visa from the UK at the moment, or is there any other way that you might be able to suggest to us, please.
Really appreciate any help and/or advice you can offer.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses options for the user's parents, both over 70, to visit Thailand for a few months. The main suggestions include the O-A (One-Year Retirement) visa and the Special Tourist Visa (STV). The O-A visa requires extensive documentation, including health insurance and sufficient bank funds. The STV allows an initial stay of 90 days extendable up to 270 days. Additional concerns about Covid-19 testing and travel restrictions are also addressed, including challenges related to their age and health insurance requirements.
