Hi all. Just got my Non immigrant O-A visa from the Thai embassy in SA. Valid until 25 Aug 26. What do I need to do when I arrive in Thailand. Want to live there full time I have a house there that I built with my Thai partner

Criminal Record Check requirements for non immigrant O-A visa.

My question is what is required by the Thai Consulate in US to verify no criminal history. I have a letter from my state's DOJ saying 'my fingerprints did not identify any criminal history record maintained by this Bureau.' It then goes on to say that 'the response does not constitute a certified letter and cannot be used for an apostille.' Do I need a certified letter from the California DOJ to be sent to the Secretary of State's office to affix an apostille? Or will the letter that I have suffice?

I appreciate this group and the through answers you all have given me on previous questions.

A question about the Non-Immigrant O-A visa. It seems to be too good to be true. At least according to the Thai Consulate in Munich you need to be over 50, show a PENSION income of at least 65,000 baht monthly (currently €1700) OR 800,000 baht in a bank account HERE in Germany. Plus you need medical insurance and a certificate from the police. They say this allows multiple entries and stays of up to one year PER ENTRY.

This seems to be too good to be true. Meaning you’d just have to get this visa once and you could come and go and each time and stay up to a year. Or stay permanently and do a visa bounce once a year. There seems to be no time limit. No lining up at Immigration to get extensions and multiple re-entry permits. Do I understand this correctly?

I’m considering this visa because banks are reported to be cracking down on accounts held by foreigners who don’t have long-stay visas.

Asking for Canadian friend who’s been on Non -immigrant O-A for 6 years with consulate visa letter for extensions based on income . Can she convert in country to non -O based on retirement and show the 65,000 monthly income ? Or what’s the best advise for her ? Thank you

Non-Immigrant O-A visa. For retirement question.

Anyone willing to share what they or their friends 😄 may have paid for their insurance

I know and welcome all informed advice on the costs of insurance that has been paid.

For an exact figure only a personal quote will give me a definite answer.

Doing my groundwork on an advice group at this moment in time.

Can anyone give an example of what they paid for compulsory basic insurance for this O-A visa monthly or yearly figures

Hello. Would someone know if can travel out of the country numerous times if I enter on a non-immigrant O-A visa ?

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"?
