With an ox visa you have to report to immigration yearly to show your bank details and medical insurance which was due today. They told me date you have to report resets if you leave the country to a year from when you return which is 11th November 2025

I'll be applying for a Long Stay Visas (OA, OX) this year and i'm just trying to get my head around the two Insurance requirements and the difference between them.

1. Foreign Insurance Certificate issued from the country where the application is submitted

2. Health Insurance issued by a Thai or foreign insurer for general illnesses

Are these two seperate insurance policies?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I am a 60 year old Aussie arriving mid April, with a 12 month lease, I will be applying for a retirement visa. I have over 800k in a Thai account and 5 months saving a month history of over 65k. What is my best options. I would like to have access to my savings straight away.

Thanks in advance

Before the new changes you could get a 5 year OX Visa with $150k in an Australian Bank acct. Now its 3mil Thb in a Thai Bank acct. Can you get a 5 year OX Visa in Thailand with 800k Thb? TIA

Hi , newbie here , just started a FIFO job in Australia 2 on 2 off and have made the decision to rent out the house and fly in and out of Thailand, my question is (& I’ve asked it in other pages ) what visa should I get ? Someone told me just go EOA , but than someone told me I can only do that 6 times a calendar year and I’ll be visiting 12 times a year , but only 12-13 days at a time , ideas please

Hi All! Thanks for letting me join the group 🙂

I am married to a Thai and we currently have been living in Australia for 8 years after moving here from Thailand.

I am looking at retiring in the next several years, and we would move back to Thailand (I'm a US, NZ, and AU citizen, if that matters)

Is this OX Visa a better option than a marriage visa?

Hey guys. I have a 1 yr O-A visa. Before it expires, what options do I have? Can I extend 1 year without going thru the application process again? Can I apply for the 10 year visa provided I have the funds in an an account?

Worried about Visa application. I had issues getting all my documents together for my OX visa application. I am not sure I have the right medical records uploaded. (I did upload my full medical records sent by my doctor). (Since it took so long to get all my records my application deleted and I had to start all over today the 10th) I leave the 15th and arriveon the 17th.. The visa application is 400 non refundable. I have spent way too much to cancel my travel plans.

Should I go ahead and travel on a visitors visa and sort it out when I land, or risk the 400 non refundable visa application now.

Hi all. Am over 50, and from Australia. Can someone please tell me what is the name of the visa that is 5 years, and non retirement? I think ox is for retired people.

Does anyone have experience of a five-year retirement visa, and if you used an agent which one?
