Good luck.

@Tod ********

i blocked them mate

Robert mine will be first entry on a visa granted before i will fly to BKK what do you think ?

@R**

its s worry ? Girl at consulate seemed to think id be fine entering country

As a side not she didn’t really seem to know much about it and I thinks it’s one of those typical government implementations dine without due diligence or staff training just like they do in Australia lol and yes Tod ill have 1 year comprehensive travel insurance. Always do.

Admirable service you all provide no matter what i learn there’s something new every day. Thanks

Benjamin i think thats incorrect mate Non Imm A O or O based on marriage allows 1 year in Thailand with 90 day reporting and i believe with a re-entry permit returning to Thailand just before the first year ends gets you stamped in for another year then i believe you csn apply for extension at the end of that year

@James *******

pretty sure its got to be one on the website

Tod & Robert.

UPDATE: I rang the Thai Consulate this morning in Sydney.

True or not i don’t know but the woman i spoke to assured me even after i quoted the new law documents.

Health Insurance is NOT required (in sydney at least) for Nin Immigrant O A visa based in retirement.

It is however required for Non Immigrant O X visa.

So there you have it.

Not sure if i feel relieved or mire confused now.

She stated i only need to show the Thai consulate supplied medical form completed by my doctor.

NOTE:

Heres another hoop to jump through, if you do require the Health Insurance most of the companies require a full medical to provide insurance for over 65.

@Robert ******

sure no problem
