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!

Another couple questions for those who have recently been granted an O-A visa via Los Angeles Consulate.

Q1. Did you have an outbound flight booked from Thailand when you submitted your application? (I only have inbound booked as I hope to stay one year).

Q2. How long did you have Thai accommodations booked for your application? ( I want to stay in hotel for 10 days then move into a condo rental. I only have the 10 days booked).

Q3, any and all input on O-A application and subsequent extension appreciated!

Kop khun krup!

Hi, I moved to Chiang Rai from another province, and my O-A retirement visa expires soon. I'm using the 65k monthly income method. I emailed the Chiang Rai Immigration to ask for a list of required documents. Based on their reply, I prepared my TM30, insurance, lease agreement, bank statement (printed online), and a copy of my passport. I brought everything to the Immigration office at Central Plaza Chiang Rai. However, the officer at the information desk looked over my documents and said they do not accept monthly income from my country😳 He gave me a yellow leaflet and explaining that they only accept monthly income from the UK, US, and Australia. I'm a Polish passport holder, and this is my second extension. What should I do? I would really appreciate any advice or help 🙏 Thank you!

Dear All. Need advise on the O-A visa. To show the financial evidence of the bank statements, does this need to be my country of residence bank account or a thai bank account. I had been reading different information regarding this.

1. Financial evidence showing monthly income of no less than 65,000 THB or having the current balance of 800,000 THB (e.g., bank statements for the last three months, proof of earnings)

I have been on paid administrative leave since February 1, in a DOGE deal to retire September 30 (thank you US taxpayers!) I have not worked since February but receive full pay and benefits. I will have all my O-A visa paperwork ready next week. I will arrive BKK October 25. I don't see anything that says I must already be retired. Consulate says "This type of visa may be issued to applicants aged 50 years and over who wish to stay in Thailand for a period of not exceeding 1 year without the intention of working. Holders of this type of visa are allowed to stay in Thailand for 1 year. Employment of any kind is strictly prohibited." Do they mean working in Thailand? I'd like to submit my package early September but maybe I wait till Oct 1?

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.
