Trying to get my mum an O-A visa to live with us in her retirement. Health insurance is a requirement, however she is 81 and so far none of the health insurance companies in the official visa guide's recommended list will insure anyone over 75. Any suggestions on how to proceed?

The O-A visa requires a health insurance policy, that covers 400,000 baht for inpatient and 40,000 baht for outpatient coverage from certified health insurance companies.

I would like to save a little with the premiums of the health insurance policy.

Does anybody know, if these policies are also accepted by the thai embassy, if a deductible is agreed on with the insurance company?

Hi everyone. I'm after a bit of advice. I want to obtain a O-A visa in the UK and come to Thailand. I understand that it lasts for 12 months and that I can leave the country and come back in and get another 12 months. What I want to know is, can I continue to do this every year or is there a limit. I do realise that I need 12 months insurance initially to get it. Many thanks.

I am American trying to get O-A visa. I am getting grief about the medical form I submitted. The embassy staff in Washinton are asking for a stamp with proof of the doctor office.

I requested this from my doctor, but they do not have any type of stamp. Everything is electronic. My doctor was surprised to fill out a paper form.

I attached his business card to the form and it is not being accepted either.

Any advice? And be respectful please.

Conflicting info on the Los Angeles Consulate site.

For the O-A visa do I need to show 800k baht equivalent (approx 24k USD) or 30k USD?

The requirements list shows 800k baht, and the document list says 30k USD.

Any first hand experiences?

I am a 60- something in the US. I used to live in Roi-et, and am just starting to look into retiring there. I have a couple of basic questions: 1) from reading the info on the LA consulate page, I gather that if I have the 800k banked, I do not need to document monthly income. Correct? 2)since the bank account is required, this should mean I have to come to Thailand on the visa exemption first, then apply? and 3) if I were to start with a non-immigrant type O, can that be renewed or do I just start with O-A? Thank you for any information.

I’m applying for a multi non imm O in UK. I don’t recall the medical certificate necessary before. I have had this visa before. Is it necessary and how did you fulfill the requirements in UK?

I want to get a DTV from a soft power dental work application, here's my situation:

I recently got a crown done from a Bangkok Government Dental Office. I need to do another implant and crown on the other side and asked the doctor if he could give me a letter so I could apply for the DTV.

Pros - The letter from the doctor is on the office letterhead, is signed by him and has the "official" stamp. This is a government dental office.

Cons - The letter is pretty general saying that I got a crown done and that I plan to get an implant done on my next visit, and a crown after that. Unfortunately there are no specific dates/timelines/payment plans.

I'm heading to Vietnam in a few days and am thinking about applying from Ho Chi Minh or Hanoi.

I was also thinking about applying from Taipei since I read on here that you could talk to someone first before paying the application fee to see what your chances are. I also read on here that Taipei plans to go online application only in January 2025, and unfortunately I can't be there by then.

Also, I'm turning 50 next May so maybe I should go for the retirement O-A Visa instead?

Any thoughts or advice? Do I have a chance? Thanks!
