Hello All, I’m looking for the professional advice,

If I’m arriving to Bangkok without visa from Canada and get 60 days exemption visa, in the airport, can I change or ask right away to get retirement non 0 visa ?

Thank you for any help,🙏

So apparently I can obtain and O-A visa 12 months from Thai embassy in Canada. This allows you to keep your money in a Canadian bank or invested here which makes more sense.

My goal is to have multiple entry which it does (outside COVID issues). I need insurance with O-A which I would get anyway. I want to ensure there are no retrictions for renewals etc if I want very long term, as in retirement permanently.

My question: what are the advantages or disadvantages of a O vs O-A I need to be aware of?
