Marriage visa (multiple entry) vs. retirement (Non-OA, multiple entry) visa: which one is better? My husband qualifies for both. He currently has a retirement (Non-OA) visa and needs to either extend it for another year or switch completely to a marriage visa.

Hi all, I have a question regarding Visa Application. Am I able to apply for the non OA Visa whilst holding a current non O Visa? I presume that once approved the OA will cancel out the O Visa but just want to make sure I can apply whilst it’s still current… or do I have to wait until it expires? Thanks for your advice

I’m retired I’ve done AI search and it says there’s a little known about “purpose of visit” drop down section other than soft power and workcation, “financially independent” it says many retirees have made successful applications via this route. Is anyone else aware of this or successfully applied using this method please ? TIA

I am from UK, and some say I may need a police DBS criminal record clearance for certain visas , I have a physical copy of my UK DBS from 2019 , which Is obviously all clean, but after 2019 , I registered my DBS on the online update service ,so you pay a yearly fee for it to be online for ever if you wish to do so, this is so any employer or who ever needs it can access it online , so no print out Is required no more , they are doing away with paper work as digital is the future, so my question is do I just give thailand my permission to view the DBS through the UK goverments online system. Just wondering if Thailand are this up to date yet ? And if not what have I got to do, I can't go to DBS criminal check people and say I need a new certificate as I can't see them issuing it, there is no point to issue me one they will think it's very odd and this may raise concerns like I am trying to get duplicate copies to forge or something ?

So i am a little confused when applying for the non o visa on the thai e visa website, some have said that you do not need the health insurance for the non o (90 days) but when you pick the sub category (1 year extention ) retirement you need it . I thought you can go into thailand on the non o and do everything there within 90 days to get your non oa . So the wyestion is do i need the health insurance when applying for the 90 days non o or not.

Asking for a friend . If you are on a Non -OA visa and do the extension by moving the 800,000 into a Thai bank , does the visa status change to a Non -O ? This based on retirement. Thank you

Asking for a family member. A 74 year old Swiss citizen wants to retire in Thailand. Regarding health insurance, is it mandatory under Thai law (like in Switzerland) or not? Given her age, can she have health insurance at all? Also, which visa is best in her case? Thanks

Hello.

I have been a regular visitor to Thailand for many years and now is the time to stay permanently.

I will be applying for a 90 day non immigrant visa online here in the UK and then after depositing the necessary funds in a Thai bank account will wait the 60 days before heading to my local immigration office in Bueng Gan to apply for a retirement visa. On the official Thai embassy website it says that if I apply to retire in the UK I must provide a medical certificate and police clearance. But if applying in Thailand it says that these "may be requested ". My question is, will I definitely need these certificates? Or is it a case of some immigration offices or officers being more or less stringent. I do want to be prepared especially as I am selling up and leaving sunny Devon forever.

I look forward to any advice 👍
