Can I use a cheap one-year lease as a home base for my retirement visa while traveling through Thailand?

Greg *********

I thought OA was one year and then you extend it like a non O visa?

@Brandon ***********

Oh okay. I entered Thailand on a one year OA visa, so maybe I’ll be okay before the 90 day report.

Really? So the first 90 days until you report for the first time you can’t get a residency certificate? So my IDP will expire right when I’m eligible for a residency certificate. Great.

What was your experience applying for the DTV visa in the UK and how straightforward was the process?

Greg *********

That’s unreal that’s all it took. I wouldn’t look for this visa to last very long. Get it while you can.

Can you open a bank account in Bangkok with a residence certificate?

Greg *********

Getting a bank account without a long stay visa is hard. If you’re only on a tourist visa, many banks will say no. Best bet is to get an agent to grease the wheels.

What are the renewal requirements for an O-A retirement visa in Thailand, and what should I do about missed 90-day check-ins?

Greg *********

I’m on an OA and my understanding is you have to show proof of a paid year of health insurance to extend every year. Also, 90 day reporting every 90 days, so you might get your pee pee slapped for that. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Best to get an insurance agent to check all companies and give you options to choose from, in my opinion.
