Hello there.

It has been a while - five years since we ended our six months in Thailand, six months in the US routine.

I will be traveling to Thailand next month using the 60 day visa exempt option to join my Thai wife who arrived last month and we will depart to the US, together, prior to the 60 days ending.

We are considering returning to our six month/six month return next fall, and realize that things have changed. Previously I would get a non imm o-a visa each year through the LA Thai Consulate - it was straightforward and worked well.

Now I see that mandatory medical insurance has been added to the mix, and as a 74 year old guy, while not a deal breaker, it ain’t cheap.

It seems like the only alternative is to spend 90 days on each visit.

Does this fine group have a solution for me? I am not interested in border runs etc - I just want to get to Thailand each year and enjoy life.

Thank you for all you do.
