So which 1 year visa only requires the 90 day reporting and needs to be extended every year?
David ****
@Brandon ***********
I thought that was only required for the 1 year non-O extension. It’s basically a catch 22 since most banks refuse to open an account without a long term visa already issued. Can always pay an agent to get around that.

Does the 90 day non-O visa have financial requirements or primarily just over 50 years old. This period allows one to open an account and transfer the appropriate funds for the renewal, correct?

@Richard *****
Thanks for the info. I’m just outside of DC. Have a safe trip wherever you decide to go.

@Richard *****
Yeah we all want to retire elsewhere. So your non-o

visa was issued in Thailand or from the embassy here in the US?

@Richard *****
Oh ok. So it’s not a retirement visa. I had an oa retirement visa which had a year stamp.
David ****
Just checking… the non-o 1 year visa only requires 90 day reporting at immigration or online. Not necessary to leave the country and return for another stamp. Right?

@Zabrina *****
yes that’s true. If time permits you can try Dr Donna and maybe your embassy will accept it. I paid about $5

I did goto Dr Donna when I was in Bkk for a full bloodwork and urinalysis. The cost is a small fraction of what clinics charge here.

A comprehensive bloodwork and physical isn’t required. Only those 5 particular illnesses. Can get a syphilis test at a free clinic and the others are simple for an infectious disease specialist to rule out.

I’d look up an infectious disease practice with several doctors working there and come in with the form.
