Hello everyone.

Just had a quick look at the Thai embassy site at work as I'm looking to move out there end of year.Under Retirement visas, I couldn't see the non-O as an option, just the O-A ..have they scrapped the non -O ? TIA !

O-A Visa application and insurance timing.

Gathering everything I need to apply for O-A

Los Angeles, California is consulate with jurisdiction.

Planning to travel in early December.

The website says I have 90 days to get stamped in to Thailand, so all my required documents are ready except insurance certificate.

If I was to apply early, does the health insurance need to be valid at the time of application, or can it have a December start date?(And December flights)

I like to have things ready well ahead of time, but do not want to waste application fees by submitting incorrect documents, or only be stamped in for 10 months because I applied early and burned through 2 months o insurance when I was not in Thailand yet.

Hello everyone. I want to apply for an O-A visa directly at the embassy. I want to ask if any of you have purchased health insurance from AXA -Thailand. I am especially interested in whether there are any people who have purchased the policy with benefits of 4,000,000 bth and a 300,000 deductible, and if they had problems issuing the visa.

Good day all, l have taken an early retirement, 59 yo, and l am self funded. l am an Australian citizen. I was wondering what is the best retirement visa to apply for, O, O-A or O-X. l want to move to Jomtien permanently. l have sufficient funds for the 800k thb bank account and can provide a 80k thb a month income. Also, is the process of applying 100% online (SA based). Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone, I’m retiring to Thailand and applying for my O-A visa stateside. Doing will allow me 1 year, this first year I would like to move from place to place staying a month here and there for about 7 months to try out each area I’d like to settle in. So the question I have when it’s time for my first 90 day check in, do I do this in person or on line, what do I need to provide and avoid any problems. I figure by the 3 month I should be at 3rd location or on the 4th. Thanks Edward

What is meant by "Letter of qualification endorsement issued from the Thailand Board of investment. (Point 4 visa application) The applicant can apply for the letter .

Is this something new?

Just wondering whether anyone has used an O-A to enter Thailand and swapped to an O after the first 12 months.

I am looking at Moratorium Insurance for the first 12 months and then self Insuring on an O Visa?

Cheers,

Any suggestions, if I’m over 50 applying from the USA. My plan is to dedicate one year of study to Thai language upon arrival. Does it make sense to get an education visa and transfer it to an O visa once I arrive? this way I can get my own insurance. Or does it make more sense to just get the O-A from USA. Thanks for the help. 

AIA Health Happy and O-A visa extension.

Hi, I'm gonna extend by second time my O-A visa. For the first 2 years I got AXA Easy Care but it has a very high deductible what make it basicly useful only for visa purposes.

I want to get a better health insurance and AIA matches feels quite interesting.

However they don't have a plan designed for O-A as AXA has.

If I'm not wrong insurance requirements are 400k for inpatient and 40k for outpatient.

AIA offers 25M coverage but about outpatient it says "2k per visit up to 30 times a year". I wonder if this is accepted by immigration.

Anybody else with similar case?

I submitted my O-A visa package this morning and just got the visa! Thanks to all who had good advice! ขอบคุณ ครับ

I won't be able to sleep tonight!
