You are welcome.

FBI

Required for an OA visa

I am from AZ. AZ will not do criminal background checks so I had to use the FBI. It was really easy

Had to go to the local police station to have my finger prints taken. Then mailed them to the FBI with a reference to my emailed background check request. I received the report back via email 4 hours after they received my finger prints. Easy!

Ross Parkes Go figure?

@Ross *******

So weird. I was told by Trat Immigration that because I had an OA retirement visa I would have to leave Thailand and return but if I had an O visa I could convert there and then to a marriage O if I had all the correct paperwork?

@Ross *******

Do you have an O visa or an OA?

I have been a T-Mobile customer for about a decade. I have been splitting my time between Thailand and the US.

I use T-Mobile The Pay As You Go plan. It costs a minimum of $100 and that keeps your account valid for up to a year with automatic renewal every year.

When in Thailand, as I have been now for a year, I use a Thai sim for local phone and internet. To contact the US I use both the Line and Messenger apps for texting, phone and video calls.

Very easy and much cheaper than using a US carrier.

Hope this helps.

You are quite correct. I went on the 16th of this month to renew my retirement OA visa. My insurance started on December 1st. Expiration date of my new OA is December 1st 2021.
