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.
