Thank you. I didn't see that requirement for the Non-OA, i will look more closely. I would love a one and done - the bank account, health insurance, reporting etc. is frustrating and seems risky. But, it seems our only option right now. Thanks again and enjoy!

The LA consulate is asking for notarized copies of my child's birth certificate and my marriage certificate. Won't an apostille work even though Thailand is not a signatory to the Hague Convention that set up the international document authentication process. It is essentially an international notary as I understand it that authenticates that the signature is authentic. Does anyone have experience with this?

Thank you so much, that helps. We are just retiring so our past income has been salary. We had hoped to show how we plan to structure our finances to meet the requirements going forward or to start our pension, but the BOI said that if we can't show the track record, we won't qualify. Now we are thinking about a different visa type for the first year and creating that track record. Good to know that only one year is needed.

This post is very helpful, thank you. Did you need to show pension/passive income back 12 months or 24 months? I read in various places that it was 2 years back, but the BOI said 12 months - but he didn't look sure.
