I am currently in the US. Question concerns OA Visa from Los Angeles. If I apply and am approved, when does that visa become valid? At the time of issue or upon entry to Thailand. Currently I am scheduled to return to Thailand after July 1. This question concerns mandatory insurance and the timing of my return. If I returned prior to July would that make any difference? I know things are up in the air right now so nothing is definite in the rules. I also have seasoned required funds in a Thai bank so could also get a 90 day O here and then convert to extension of stay. Trying to make the best choice for someone well over 70. Thanks.
