Hello all. Thanks for accepting me in to this group. Has anyone obtained a one year retirement visa and if so, what is the first step. Thx in advance. Ann

I am a German Citizen and will travel next week to Jakarta to apply for an O-A Visa, which seems to be necessary to get the goethailand Application approved.

Two questions

For the A-O Visa, do I really need to have 800 000 Baht or equivalent on a Bank account? I have not. Some information says only 800 $ per Person are necessary. What is the situation? what to do?

They ask for a document saying no criminal record. I have not such a statement. Where and how to get it? Is such a statement really required? I have not been 20 years in Germany

Please help if you have knowledge. From 2012 to 2017 I had retirement visas for Thailand in my old passport would that help?

Any help is very appreciated

Ok here I go!

Thinking of applying for Non Immigration O-A retirement visa.

I have downloaded requirements from a Royal Thai Condulate General Los Angeles.

One requirement:

Called FBI. No help. Called a place that does fingerprints. No help?

Any body know how to do this?

Planning on getting an ED visa from KL in a few weeks. Does anyone have any reports on how smooth/quick the process is there and if there is usually long queues at the embassy. Im also interested in how strictly the requirements are enforced, particularly the "Certified criminal record in the applicant’s country of origin", and whether such a criminal record certificate has to come from my country of origin, the UK, as opposed to my country of residence, Thailand? Getting one in Thailand will naturally be significantly easier than the UK, but not having to get one at all will be easier still.

Hi friends.

I am going to apply non OA visa in my country India.

I need some clarification from friends.

1) Three sets of visa application forms.

Please suggest that am I need to submit all enclosure too in 3 sets?

2)Criminal Record certificate to be enclose original or photocopy?

Because checklist says Original about financial proof only.

Thanks in advance.
