Silly question time again. I’ve got advice from this group, that I need a 90 day Non immigrant visa to help with a bank account application. What do I select as purpose of visa? As there is no O visa option just O-A

TIA

I am confused. I am seeking a retirement visa. I'm a US citizen and I qualify financially, both monthly pension and 800k.

Do I:

Begin O-A visa process in my country?

OR

Seek 90 day Non-immigrant 50+ visa and Begin O-Retirement visa once I land in Thailand.

Thanks for any advice

Does anyone have experience with Baan Thai Immigration Solutions? To assist in acquiring an O-A visa, they charge 25000 baht for me and 20000 baht for my spouse. Does that seem reasonable?

When you complete the o -a visa do you need to prove you have 800000. Sorry if this has already been asked. Just need to get finance sorted.

( I know the "O" does not require health insurance). For anyone on an O-A visa, this is required Foreign Insurance Certificate: As stipulated by the Office of Insurance Commission and Health Insurance of Thailand, this certificate must be completed, signed, and stamped by the insurance company. Has anyone had luck with that specifically BCBS Federal? TIA!

I’m on a non-immigrant O visa and still on the 3 initial months.

I haven’t started the extension process yet. If I leave the country just before the 90 days are up, could I apply for an O-A visa instead? Honestly, I’d rather not lock up a big chunk of my money in Thailand right now. I prefer to keep it in my home bank for at least another year before thinking about a longer commitment. Do you think that’s going to be an issue with that? TIA

Hello. I'm looking for some clarification and advice. My spouse and I are from USA and both over 50.

We are looking to get the LTR next year, once my spouse can show a little extra passive income on our taxes from renting out our house.

In the interim, we would like to enter Thailand on either an O or O-A visa. The problem appears to be that we thought we only needed to show the 800,000 Baht in our bank on the day of application, but now we noticed we need three months of statements.

We have access to the funds, but with the misunderstanding, we did not yet put them in an account(s) and we want to travel soon.

We also have the option of showing $2,500 in income with those statements. We have a joint checking where my spouse can easily demonstrate that income, but I am a little short.

Based on that, it appears my spouse should have no problem with either the O Or the O-A immediately, but I might have issues.

Based on the above we have a few questions:

1) Do I need to show the money in my account for all three months? I would qualify if I only needed it on application submission.

2) Would they take our total monthly income in our joint account and split it between us? If so, then I would have enough income for all three months.

3) I know I can't open a Thai account without a 90 day visa. Of course, I could go on an exemption or vacation visa. I could then return to the USA after three months and apply for an O or O-A, but that's not very ideal. Is there another option that would allow me enter Thailand sooner and not have to return to the USA to reapply?

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this, and for helpful clarification or advice.

Does anyone know a good health insurance company with reasonable rates? As I'm trying to complete my OA Visa. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello. Coming from Canada, I work remotely for a Canadian company and my husband is retired. Was planning on DTV Workation based and him as spouse but seeing lots of ppl recommending o-visa. The O-A requires a re-entry permit if we leave for any length, I’m uncertain if the O-X does as well.

Question then…if i come over on a non-o can I still work remotely or am I better to stick with the DTV “Nomad Visa”? Second, can hubby apply for non-o and I apply for DTV or must we both hold the same type?

I want to change my O-A to an O visa. Is it important that I cancel my current visa Extension first or can I just bounce across a border, get a 60 visa exemption stamp and let my current Extension lapse?
