@John *************

really want to promote agents right now?

Pretty clear immigration is cracking down.

Getting an OA was not hard, insurance is less than the interest lost being forced to keep money in a Thai bank which isn't so easy to get back out.

Love people who give opinions that didn't do the work. 🙄

Mine literally laughed at first, did the TB skin test, gave me a vax that wasn't covered (as it's deemed unnecessary) and after a couple of days did sign off.

@Peter ***************

my questions are in effort for validation as there is an infinite amount of wrong, deceptive, inconsistent or just plain not legal things thrown around by people. 👌

His doctor likely signed off on the required medical for the OA which has nothing to do with the insurance.

The stamp on one piece of paper is what a border agent is going to want to see when activating a second year, so unclear answers give me pause. 😁

@Peter ***************

no sweat. Just seems like if it's usable option, great. If they don't have that single page the visa should require it'll be problematic for activating the next year. 👌

@Peter ***************

but there is a specific certificate that is required and that certificate is the proof on entry, especially year two. I'm unaware how this would work. Anyway, carry on. 👍

@Peter ***************

can said Canadian insurance companies issue the stamped page required for Thailand's OA visa application?

Genuinely unsure how that works? 🤷‍♂️

Generally no, no need to wait. Unrelated.

Should be fine.

Unfortunately word usage too many times is definitively incorrect. In this situ, honestly don't know.

@Roger ********

exempt stamp is 60 days. You get at arrival. You only need to provide valid passport, where you're staying, onward travel ticket and 20,000 baht. Most of the time they don't even ask for most of this. 👌
