What are some recommended health insurance companies for the OA Visa in Thailand?

Graeme ******

The e visa system will give you a number of companies that meet the O-A requirements. AXA is one that is quoted, you can choose your deductible to manage the cost which is quite reasonable

What should I do if my Thai visa's date of validity is incorrect?

Graeme ******

@Matthew ********

you get 90 days to use your visa, so as long as you enter thailand within those 90 days yiu will get stamped in for 60 days on a tourist visa or 90 days on a type O retirement visa. It sounds like your good to go !!

Do you have to pay taxes in Thailand if you have 2 million baht in a bank account?

Graeme ******

Remember thai banks only guarantee 1 million baht if they get into financial trouble so I would be more worried about that and would there fore spread my money over multiple accounts than worry about a tiny amount of tax on the interest

Where are you located? I have just applied for non o through UK embassy, they typically take no longer than a week? You can get into thailand on visa exempt if you qualify although will find it very difficult to open a bank account without a long term visa
