Is the Non-O visa multi-entry and how does it compare to the Non-OA visa for retirement in Thailand?

John ********

I have had both non imm oa and o extension based on retirement ...overall, particularly if you already have 800k in a thai account I found the o retirement extension option both easier to get and overall cheaper due to less certificates and insurances. Particularly as you pass age 65 and insurance premiums rise steeply often.

@Sarah *********

currently most land borders are closed or restricted. Neighbouring countries are opening up a little but the 'almost same day' border bounces are still not possible I think ...paperwork for entry and exit and re entry to thailand requirements blabla

Do I need to purchase insurance for the full duration of my stay on a Tourist Visa in Thailand?

John ********

Tod is right, altho I often take insurance for the expected length of stay and even higher coverage ...cant be bothered with multiple policies to cover medical eventualities.

@Eran ***********

I think not, unless covid extensions are still being given at that time, but unlikely.

What is the cost and process for renewing a visa in Thailand for a family of four?

John ********

You need to say what types of visa you are entering on. If a 30 day visa exempt or 60 day tourist visa, each can be extended at an immigration office for a further 30 days to give 30+30 or 60+30
