yes! Was about to say the same. Pretty typical unless it’s a duty station.

Can I and my Thai wife obtain a single visa to travel throughout Europe?

Brian *********

Way vague dude? The simplest answer is what will apply for you will not apply for your wife is she still only possesses a Thai passport.

Otherwise the Uniform Schengen Visa is the only thing I’m aware of that’s close to what you describe. 🤷‍♂️

see your point. I just haven’t even looked to see what the reqs are or if I can apply from within the kingdom.

It was just an easy short solution to buy some wiggle room.

Thanks!

why don’t they stop making things a moving target so people can make a freaking plan!?! Right! Thais don’t plan. 🙄

I haven’t attempted to further my OA because I am trying to go home in that 60-90 day window. Now this! 😡

Can I open a bank account in Thailand with a retirement visa?

Brian *********

that’s fine. That’s what I did. They will also probably want proof of residence from immigration.

Are deductibles accepted for the O-A visa health insurance policy in Thailand?

Brian *********

@Christian ************

BMI is a meaningless value, it really is!

However, 36 is a dangerous range if having low fitness and low muscle mass my friend.

I’m not going to lie, that could be denial criteria for you and maybe it better you go after the non O visa instead as it doesn’t have this insurance requirement.

Your rate will be almost entirely based on your health, age and preexisting conditions. You will out right be declined for things like obesity (as an example).

The insurance company provides a page with a stamp, that’s what they want for the visa application.

I never used mine in two years. I used LMG.
