Hello and good Afternoon

So soon we need to go for Visa O-A Multiple Entry for extension to Laos, Nong Khai.

How im thankful got informed here I need to go for at least 24 hours to Laos and when I get back to Thailand Border Immigration I get one Year single Entry extension.

Sadly because Family circumstances we need to go over the Weekend. Is the Immigration open over the Weekend 30.8 to 31.8 there?

Best Regards, Marcel

I'm a Singaporean currently on Visa O-A which will expire on 2 August 2023. I do not wish to extend the Visa because I have decided to live in Taiwan for a year.

My questions are:

1. Can I leave Thailand on 4 August 2023, 2 days after Visa expired?

2. Do I need to cancel the Visa at Bangkok Immigration?

3. Can I apply for a new Visa OA a year later in Singapore?

Thank you in advance for your advise.

My doctor does not want to sign the medical certificate required for Visa O-A.

Any advice or suggestions on getting medical certificate signed without having expensive tests and x-rays? I live in Florida, but I think I read some people did it via tele-health?

I requested the signature from my primary care doctor...but she freaked out saying she can not sign it without running blood tests and x-rays for the "tuberculosis, elephantiasis, leprosy, drug addiction, and third step of syphilis."

On retirement visa: i like to share a recent experience that i hope will be helpful. I obtained my visa (O-A) two weeks ago, in Ottawa Canada. Some learnings:

* Medical certificate: they accepted a medical certificate from a Thai hospital (note: it is much cheaper/faster, and less 'weired look' you get when doing certificate in your home country).

* Proof of funds: they do accept a statement from your retirement (in usa, called 401k) account

* Not all consulate in different cities process all type of visas. Call before!

* Call before! the agent at Ottawa was very helpful, and open to answer/clarify
