@Kristen *******

yes, both times. Another couple items required for the OA visa is a criminal background check. Here in the uS that would be either from the State Police, or Federal. Also, there is a medical form that includes some rare diseases. First time, my Doctor just laughed and signed it. Last time, had to get a TB test to please the Doc. For my wife O visa, just applied as retirement. after the 90 days, change to dependent spouse in Thailand. Good luck on getting to return to HK

We did exactly that in 2018. I on a OA and wife on a O. What we have now, but have not gone back yet. With the OA, you got to have the insurance, don't have to keep money in a thai bank. Plus can get almost 2 years out of the visa before it expires. That works for us as we bounce between the US, Vietnam, and Thailand. Well, we did that before covid, lol. Hoping to start it up again as we're arriving in vietnam in a week. Then on to Thailand on new OA & O visas.

Another 2

Yup. our OA & O visas came that way

A short walk from Saphan Thaksin BTS. Bangrak food court, behind Robinsons. A few restaurants on the soi beside Robinsons. A short walk from there to Jacks Bar, beer and food on the river. there were5-6 food stands on the left before you get to Jacks.

We have tickets to fly on . Have insurance. Our OA/O visas delivered on . Had been waiting on visas before booking hotel.... Found out about the suspension of the Test&Go, and deadline to get application in just a couple hours before the cut-off. That worked out well... lol. Going to wait until closer to flying date to cancel tickets. Want to see if flight gets canceled, lol... Life in FL is pretty good and stress-free.

Congratulations!

Have you any updates on your OA visa application? I'm going to submit our OA & O applications tomorrow. Wondering the approximate processing times. (I know they will vary, depending)

Close to Terminal 21, then you're close to the BTS & MRT stations.

I've read one comment that you need to use "google pay" and it works. YMMV
