Hello All , I have a question, I’m still little bit confused,

So I have Non O-A Visa with multiple entry stamps will be expired in end of October, I renewed my insurance what is good 2026 October, I’m planning to fly out for few days and Coming back in this Month.

1, I will receive other one more year stamp till to my insurance is valid (2026 October)?

2, when I coming back can I ask for other multiple entry stamps (if I pay extra)?

3,(if I can’t receive Multiple entry stamp)

Can I ask re- entry permit before fly out , (let say in January ) and when coming back my one year visa still valid?

Thank you any advice 🙏

Sorry for too many questions. I’m totally lost.🤔



Good morning. I have just arrived on a Non O-A visa and have done my first visit to immigration for the TM30. As my current medical insurance expires 31 Dec I was only stamped in until then, insurance will be renewed sometime in November. Will I still have to fly out and back in order to get another year stamp? How easy is it to change to Non O visa which saves the insurance requirement?

Here we go again, remember this is just ideas floating around to try and understand the Thai visa , anyway the bronze elite visa , yes I know it's a lot of money but you do get piece of mind, 5 years should be enough time to open a bank account, lol,

Hello all, finally in Thailand. Q: with Non O-A visa approved 1st visit. I went to Bangkok bank with Documentation today. They required a letter from home country embassy. They called this a “certificate of residence” does anyone know what that is. Immigration did not need this.

Q: They also noted I cannot apply for Bank account without a lease agreement.

Does this mean you have to sign a lease for 1 year and stay in a rental before applying for Retirement visa? Sorry confused?

Thanks for your help.

Question : for Non O-A visa is accepted an international insurance ?

Hi all, thanks for all the wonderful advice here. I am trying to complete the requirements for non O-A 1 year visa. Multiple entry. I have downloaded the template Thai medical certificate with certain tests such as leprosy and elephantiasis. These tests are not common here in North America. The hospital says 30-40 days for results? I’m in Canada so the results are sent to CCDC. Any suggestions? Can’t go to US.

Any suggestions would appreciate?

If granted a non O-A visa , what documents are asked for by Thai immigration on arrival in Thailand ? Do you need to show all the documents you submitted to the embassy in order to obtain the visa or just the e-visa and insurance certificate ?

Can anyone please give or have any advice for me how to go about the least stressful way of getting a 12 month visa , thankyou

Hi all, so I now have my non O-A visa and tomorrow I will take my TM 30 to immigration to get a residence certificate. So apart from those, my passport and another ID what else should I expect to need to open a bank account, also which bank is recommended? I am in Karon Beach Phuket. TIA

Where is the change to the health insurance requirement for Non O-A visa gazetted ? it was reduced from B3m to B450k a while back some foreign embassies are still asking for the 3m 🤔 is this just for first time requests or are they not up to date with recent changes - checked all the usual places very unclear…..
