I am a 58 year old Canadian citizen looking to spend 7 months in Thailand and am looking evaluating the O-A Visa for 1 year. I am 58 and have the financial requirements but am at the start of the process to fill out the forms which seem to have to be notarized and signed by the Consulate General. I have 5 months to obtains this O-A Visa as I want to stay for 7 months this year (end of Oct 2025-April 2026). Any advice regarding the scheduling of duties? police report, proof of funds, proof of Health, Insurance. It seems the only alternative is Multiple- Entry-Visa (which 1. Includes the cost and disruption of Visa runs and 2. Officially states the ‘up to 6 months and I need almost 7 months) I know Thailand fairly well and have a good contact there who lives in a retirement visa from Europe but on prior trips have spent just 4 months at a time. Ultimately the O-A retirement visa is what I think is my only choice as I negotiate a longer term visa commitment. Also I have noted that some people are having difficulties with the Multiple Entry route in terms of re-entering Thailand and encountering different requirements from different immigration officers. I’m curious if anyone else has successfully obtained this visa recently and if so, how long it might have taken as well as details or advice on issues encountered during the application process. Any and all advice would be much appreciated.

Urgent Advice Needed – Lost my passport but i have some scan copies...

Hi all.

Unfortunately, I lost my passport today, and my 90-day Non-B visa is set to expire on March 23, 2025. I arrived in Bangkok on January 8, 2025, and my company is planning to extend my visa to a one-year work permit.

Could you please advise me on the necessary steps to take? Specifically:

Can I still extend my visa under these circumstances, or will I need to apply for a new one?

Are there any urgent actions I need to take before my current visa expires?

I appreciate your guidance and look forward to your advice.

Best regards,

I’ve recently built and moved to my new home. Unfortunately it appears I’ve either misplaced or thrown out by mistake my passport and Thai bank books. What are the steps I need to take to renew a passport and transfer my present visa etc?

Clueless as I’ve never made this mistake before.

I'm going to apply for a new US passport soon, but is there a way I can check where it has been?

** I don't have my passport with me. It's with my travel agent. It's been too long. I'm going to get a new one.

Just out of curiosity, when applying for a non O-A visa, you are asked to provide your own police report, surely the immigration can obtain this information about you. Or is it that they just want you to do the work.

Hi all. My gf (British)has lost her passport. She lives here in Thailand. How can she fix this situation without leaving the country? Is it possible? Thanks.

Hi. I am living in Thailand on a non O retirement visa.

I have just had my passport stolen and am waiting for an appointment at the UK embassy for a new passport.

As far as I know it takes 3 months to get a new passport and my visa runs out on the 7th of May which obviously means I will be in overstay.

Just looking for any advice really

Hi Group .. a friend from Canada arrived in Chiang Mai last week on VOA. He lost his passport and is now in the process of getting a new one. What does he need to do to put his entry stamp back on the new passport? TIA 🙏
