I'm a US Citizen, currently in the US, planning to come to Thailand in Jan 2026. I'm eligible for 2 types of long stay visas:

1. O-A: Been on this twice, last one expired in Dec 2024

2. O-X: Like this better since it gives me 5 years in Thai and need to report less often. Never been on this.

I already have a bank account in Thailand. VISA Agents please contact me to advice and start process. I think I can only get O-A from the US, not sure if I can apply for O-X in Thailand (I'll can come as a tourist and convert).

O-A application question

I am at the point where I need to upload 3 months of Bank statements and the bank letter for proof of income. The application has one upload box for all 4 docs.

Am I wrong in thinking that these need to be combined into one pdf? It looks like only one file can be uploaded to that field.

My bank statements are 11 pages long for each month. Do they want the entire statements of just the first page with my name address and ending balances?

Hello to all members.

I want to apply online for the O-A visa. I have the following question. On page 4 of the online application form, it asks for the upload of supporting documents for health insurance, criminal record, bank and others. How did you proceed if you had to upload multiple documents related to a position? I can only upload one page even though I have several to upload. Thanks to everyone who replied. I also received an email from the Embassy earlier advising me to combine all 3 bank statements into one PDF.

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,
