Hello again, I’m looking up what documents I need to renew my 12month retirement visa. Do I now need health insurance, I didn’t need it when I applied initially (I applied in Thailand nit from my home country UK). TIA

Hi i have a question regarding my entry into thailand

I have a retirement visa with multiple entry

This will be my first time entering Thailand since issue upon entry do i need to go and get a 90 day stamp in my passport?

Hi all. My husband has to cancel his OA extension because he’s been offered a paid position in Thailand, so will need to go to the Thai embassy in his home country to obtain the new visa. We’re in Bangkok. My question: after he goes to immigration to cancel the OA, how quickly does he have to leave Thailand? Are there a couple of days grace period or does he have to leave immediately? Thanks for any advice.

I’m new to the Thai visa process and recently applied for the Non-OA visa. While rereading the requirements for the LTR Visa: Wealthy Pensioners, I noticed that I may qualify. Is it possible and advisable to apply for multiple visas? The LTR visa is processed through Bangkok instead of the Thai embassy in the US, which is my case. Can I apply for the LTR Visa while residing in Thailand, or should I apply before leaving the US? It seems that either way is possible.

Is there any harm in applying, even if things don’t work out?

I also posted this on the Thai Visa sister page.

Thanks.

I’ve enjoyed my first 60 days in Thailand, received my 30 day extension today. I will fly to Hanoi when my time is up. Can I apply for a Thai retirement visa while in Hanoi, or do I have to return to USA to accomplish that. Thanks.

Good afternoon.

Does anybody know if Allianze are one of the approved companies for health insurance with Thai immigration if I were to do a retirement non O Extension or if I applied for a Non OA from the UK

I’m completing the Non-OA visa application, and have a few questions.

The application requests the “7. Foreign Insurance Certificate, as stipulated by the Office of Insurance Commission and Health Insurance of Thailand, must be completed, signed, and stamped by the insurance company. The form can be downloaded from [members only]”.

The documents provided by the insurance company provide the exact same information as required in the form, but have a slightly different appearance than the downloaded form.

Should I have the exact form completed or is the priority to provide the required information? Any idea as to what would be acceptable to the embassy?

*The other issue is that the insurance policy is 5MB instead of 3MB or smaller. “6. Health Insurance issued by a Thai or foreign insurer, covering general illnesses, including COVID-19, with a minimum insured sum of 100,000 USD or 3,000,000 THB. “*

*What are the expectations here? Do they need the entire document? Is there a reliable free app that can further downsize the original 18 page PDF? *

I used a trial of Adobe Acrobat to compress the file further. It looked terrible, so I split the original file in half and compressed each half separately and rejoined them. It's both under the 3MB limit and more legible.

Thank you in advance.
