Congratulations, however, if you are unwilling to place the required 800,000 baht into a Thai bank account, you MUST wait until you have your retirement documents that state that your eligible for the monthly income through the Retirement Visa

@Nongnuch *******

Not true. The non-immigrant o-a visa is in fact the Retirement Visa

@Ralph ******

I would rather obtain my 1 yr visa while I’m still in the states to avoid any issues upon my arrival

The embassy website where you apply doesn’t specifically state what the coverages needed are only that you need health insurance.

@Chris *******

Yes, that’s the visa that I’m interested in the Retirement Non-Immigrant O-A Visa and I’m finding conflicting information concerning the health insurance coverages that are needed. Different places and sites state different coverages that are required while the embassy website just states that health insurance and a certificate is required for the visa.

Thank you for the heads up and good advice

Following as I too will coming over next month on a retirement Visa and was unsure how that would affect my SSI as well.

I’ve never heard that before
