@Adam ********

my Dr. did the same, and he told me to have a nice trip

Not married, I believe this is a new visa, I believe they want to get away from calling it a retirement visa. It is now called LongStay. I believe it is a way for long term residents and retirees a way to get in if they are willing to quarantine get insurance and follow all the requirements. I believe they want to rename "Retirement Visa" so the Thai people embrace it more. Just my thoughts. I also believe and agree with the fact that they don't want a bunch of broke old people sapping the government with long term medical bills that indigent retirees from other countries could saddle them with

@John ******

I was denied entry with a Non-O retirement visa, now they have an OA-Longstay and all my paperwork is in and I'm just waiting for my COE and passport. I was told they are allowing people with this type of visa to enter. Fingers crossed

Are they allowing Elite Visa holders into the country now?

good luck

Kaija Sandt thank you. May I ask if you’ve already received your certificate at entry

Kaija Sandt thank you I was only going by the website.

Problem with the Elite Visa is there is a 90 to 120 day wait to get it. If it only took a month I would buy it gladly, but having to wait 3 to 4 months I might be able to get in on my retirement visa by then

takes 90 to 120 days to be processed.
