I have a discussion about the last valid day of my O-A visa. The immigration officer says the last valid day is the last day mentioned on my Visa. However, my agent says, the last valid day is the day one year after your arrival. In my case there is a differents of 30 days between those two dates. I think my agent is right.

I have a 12 month O-A visa , runs out on 17th April this year. I have extended my health insurance and intend to re enter Thailand before 17th. I know that I will be stamped in for a further 12months ( or to the end of my insurance cover). I will get a multi entry permit at Phuket immigration so I can leave and return after that and protect my visa. I know I will need to show my visa , passport, copies of passport and TM30, and of course there will be the fee. What other documents might I need and is there a form to fill out?

Hello,

My wife and I want to apply for one year O-A visas and then renew them annually to spend between 3 and 5 months in Thailand each year after our retirement. When I looked in the past there was a requirement to have a Thai bank account with 800,000 Baht. As we live in France and have to pass through the Thai Embassy in Paris, I just looked on their website for the requirements and it no-longer mentions the need for a Thai bank account, but instead proof of income of 24,000 euro annually. Can anyone confirm if the requirements have really changed as this would make it much easier for us and we wouldn't need a two stage process, first to get a 3-month visa to be able to open an account and the following year an O-A visa.

Thanks to anyone who can confirm or otherwise this change.

my o-a visa is aproved.but the insurance start at the end of next month.can i inter thailand with the visa.before.??

I have a extension for a O-A visa ending in Oct 28 2026. I am booking a ONE WAY flight for Feb 2026 to Bangkok. Is there any restrictions for immigration or DTAC for one way flights?

Hi question, I had an O-A visa effective 10/30/2024, I received a one year extension effective 10/29/2025 to 10/28/2026. The extension stamp (1 year) is contained in my US passport which I recently replaced with a new US passport effective in January 2026. I will be returning to thailand February 2026. What is the process for transferring the extension stamp to my new passport. I have possession of both passports. I know the TM30 will use the new passport info. THanks

Hi, can anyone give me a ball park figure on working with a company to sort out our O-A visa. Finance etc in place but Uk Thai embassy not replying to emails

I'm thinking of applying for the O-A nonimmigrant visa at the Thai embassy in my country. I have a question about the medical certificate required for this visa: is there a specific form the doctor must fill out, and does the certificate need to be legally translated into Thai? Thanks to anyone who can answer.

I am trying to apply for a Non-Immigrant O-A retirement visa on the Thailand Embassy website. I am currently in the US. The only option that I can use for Visa type is the Non-Immigrant Visa. There is no option for retirement and under the purpose of visit there is also no option for retirement. Is there something that I am not understanding. Has anyone else had this issue and can give advice.

Can anyone recommend an insurance company for an AO retirement visa. Just got a quote from AXA at £500 a month.
