if you can have 65,000 baht deposited into a Thai bank monthly you’re fine for an O. 👍

@Rob ********

I think it’s at least easier, less work.

@Johnny *******

here is a breakdown based out of the LA embassy.

@Angela *******

yes, some parts is easier. Medical cert is one dr visit signing a piece of paper for things in some cases they can’t even test for. 🤣

The end run biggest difference is the OA is only for a limited time. Mine has lasted me two years. The O is infinite.

@Max ************

my Thai bank does not pay any real interest, especially including the fees they charge.

My US based bank paid 3x the amount of money in interest i paid for my required insurance. I calculating ONLY the amount required to be on deposit for a non O. Pretty much that cut and dry.

That interest money on deposit in a Thai bank would have been nonexistent. Where instead it paid my rent for a quarter. 👍

@Brian **********

LMG was reasonably priced.

@Daniel *****

the cost of insurance is much cheap compared to interest lost in a Thai bank. 👍

@Graham *****

but OA isn’t from inside and I thought it was a better deal for a period. 😎

Depends on which you want, Non OA, before. Non O after.
