Anyone have a recommendation for a Visa agent in Chiang Mai? I'm applying for a retirement visa.

Has anyone ever gotten a non-immigrant O-A before entering Thailand before?

Everything I've read says it can be done. (But we all know Thailand policies...)

I don't quite have the $800k, but easily the $65k monthly, and not sure about using an agent yet.

Thanks.

Hello, I am on a non immigrant O-A Visa expiring 8 April 2025. Do I need to check in with immigration every 90 days? Thank you.

Hi, with non-immigrant O-A visa (aka retirement visa) , can you travel out / in Thailand as many times as you like, or are you required to get some "re-entry permit"?

Hi,

After a lot of thinking I come to the l that the Non-Immo O-A is possibly the best for the first 12 months but I am still uncertain about the following:

As I understand, the O-A METV, applied through the Thai Consulate, has no „waiting period“ like the Non-Immo O extension of stay (which comes with the 90 day visa).

Instead the O-A becomes valid with the first entry into Thailand if I am not mistaken.

Can I apply for an O-A and the necessary health insurance in a few weeks but only enter Thailand a few months later (obviously health insurance has to match my date of entry) or do I need to enter as soon as I receive the Visa?

I ask this because I have my criminal record paper already but prefer to enter Thailand between August and October

Thanks

Hi,

I have a question about my Non-Immigrant O-A 1 year multiple visa (I am over 50).

I stated in my visa application to stay 182 days in Thailand.

My embassy (Berlin) told me, that I have to report every 90 days at immigration or leave the country and return again.

On arrival I got an entry stamp until June 11th, no words about 90 day reporting.

Now I am wondering if I can stay the whole time without the need to go to immigration or leaving the country?

To the hive minds of the Thailand visa group:

I am a US citizen with a non-immigrant O-A visa with a length of stay 1 year. The Visa ends May 2024. Typically every time I enter Thailand I am admitted to stay 1 year from date of entry. But on my recent entry in November 2023 the stamp read admitted to May 2024 not November 2024. Why was I not admitted for 1 year from date of entry? thank you.

Hi. I'm confused. I'm on a 1-year retirement extension issued INSIDE Thailand. Is this called Non-immigrant "O-A", or is it simply Non-immigrant "O"? (The stamp in my passport only says "Non-Imm", no letters.) Thanks for any advice!

Hi, quick question regarding the 60 day Tourist visa application. I am a UK resident who intends to apply for a 60 day Tourist visa and then plan to apply for a 12 month Non-Immigrant O-A visa once I arrive in Bangkok.

So if I book a one way ticket, will I get approval for a standard 60 day Tourist visa without showing a return flight?

Thanks so much,

Regards

Neil

Back to the BEST GROUP on the internet for advice:

I'm 6mths in on Non-Immigrant O-A Visa, Stamped in 7/19/22. But Visa DOC expires 7/5/23. Must be used (for my free year/Border bounce) by 7/4/23. I'm all set for that.

Now I find I have to go the USA for couple weeks (Emergency). Don't want anything to interfere with any of those VISA plans/ free year.

Can I simply purchase the 'Re-entry 'stamp, or whatever its called, to use as 1-time out and in? Not even presenting or worrying about my VISA DOC? I really can't afford to screw this up. I have planted deep roots here now and love it (: Any full explanation of this would be greatly appreciated.
