What are the requirements for obtaining a Non-OA visa in Thailand, especially regarding the criminal report?

@Thomas *********

I have no idea on the DUI issue, but i'd guess no. We're looking at the O/OA visas too. Was thinking on OA, as can get almost 2 years - then we figured we'd come back for a visit, and reapply. But - I've posted some questions about the O visa. Hope to get some info.

Depends on what state you are in. In NC, had to get fingerprinted at Sheriff, then send to NCSBI. In FL, can order from FLDLE. But as above, OA visa available in the US, not Thailand. O visa, background check not required. (as I understand it)

Will my US insurance policy suffice for COVID insurance to enter Thailand?

Andy *********

LMG? Does your insurance pay directly to a hospital? We had US insurance that covers, but, had to file a claim. This was before the requirements changed. Think the AXA offers monthly policies that are accepted, and directly pay the hospital. We're looking to return on OA visas, and know requirements differ
