If they want it they want it and there aunt nothing you can do about it but buy the insurance or leave. If you get away without it hood on you but eventually they’ll catch you out

Well one thing for sure I’m getting insurance even though mu OA was granted before Oct 30 I’m not going to risk problems flying into DM especially.

I’m wondering what will happen on last re entry for another 12 months stamp.

I did watch a video from an American solicitor in BKK that said after consultation with Thai immigration that existing OA holders in retirement status would be grangfathere and safe from this. That is people originally granted OA before 30 Oct 2019.

Also they said to him corridor for O visa will be narrowed and it will be difficult to attain later unless maybe married or have Thai relatives. It will be phased out for retirement.

Would definitely remove “lives at Kho Samui” from your facebook page they’ll see your record look at that and refuse entry.

Any horror stories from entry gate yet ?

You guys do a great job and disseminate invaluable information to all ignorant of Thai Immigration procedures and nuances when you can. If people get shirty with your answers, judgmental and rude then they do not deserve to have the service you provide free and without prejudice.

Flick em.

Theire obviously assumptions of entitlement to the answer they want other than the only answer you can give should disqualify them from the group.

@Rob***

yep thats the plan

Hmmmm, cant get a one year O mased on marriage in HCM or another country close by ?

Can you get a one year extension on that O based on marriage ? Or you get an extension every 90 days for ever and ever ?

Multiple entry Non Immigrant O based in marriage gives you 1 year of 90 day stays.

I'm getting the insurance anyway as I do not want any problems on arrival after a long flight. They told me the same thing in Sydney but ..... not sure they are so sure myself.
