Is my Vietnamese passport holder wife eligible for a 30-day extension on a 45-day visa exempt stay in Thailand?

Thanks for the info. We'll just go back to Vietnam for a couple days. We didn't realize she was not eligible for the 30 day extension. I'm letting my OA visa expire, Her O expired earlier this year. Going forward we'll not be spending extended time here, sadly... lol

Yes, we'll have to figure out that for next year. This year, could she do a 'border run' to Vietnam, and get another 45 days coming back in to Thailand?

What are the current requirements and potential changes for the O and O-A visas in Thailand for retirement?

Andy *********

Steve Smythe Understand, the OA I have now is the first one I've had since insurance has been required. Seems the insurance/background check/medical form is a hindrance for some though. The pandemic changed up our travel habits somewhat. My wife is Viet, so I have a visa exemption there. That helps with our decision where to go.

All the hoops you have to jump through for a OA visa make the O visa rather attractive. I'm letting my OA visa expire this year.
