Just be sure to get a re-entry if you leave after that.

Your balance went under 500k, and it will show on the statement, as it lists all transactions. Highly likely you will have problems.

Yes you can apply a second time in Canada.

This requirement is likely to be in place well into 2022. (Estimated)

Yes that is correct. That is what I would consider doing if I was in his situation. Let it run out and go with the NON O.

Did you consider ditching the OA visa and changing to a NON O while you are home, so you can try to avoid the long insurance requirement? Then you just need the COVID insurance (which your current insurance covers). You can then get a year long extension of stay in country by transferring, and showing, the required funds in a Thai Bank account. Something to consider at 70, with insurance options difficult to get. Also other options are to change to a NON O retirement visa inside the country, and then extend that. I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.

Nice one. Cheers.

Ah yes OK. A completely new visa for a different reason. Yes OK that make sense. Ellie said "a new visa with an extension before it expires?".....I think she means....just a completely new visa for entry. No relation to the old one. There would be no extension of anything involved. Got it.

@Ellie ******

What do you mean issue a new visa with an extension before it expires? while outside of the country?

Maybe you need it in Samut Prakarn? Is that not a red zone?
