the return flight is only of interest for some of the airlines upon check-in. Thai Immigration don't bother when your return flight is. All they want to see is that you don't go into "overstay"

@Bernie ******

both visa, the O/A and the O, are for reason "retirement/over 50 years old"

@Bernie ******

the Non-Imm-O visa can be applied for being over 50/retirement. If you only wish to stay for 90 days, the single entry Tourist Visa is the cheaper option with less requirements

@Bernie ******

you are confusing two things: the 90 days visa requires a health insurance. However the 1-year extension of stay permit out of a Non-Imm-O visa does not require a health insurance. The stay permit is not a visa

and to add, the 90-days Non-Imm-O visa and its extension to a 1-year permit of stay comes without the obligation for a health insurance

. .and there also is the 90-days single entry Non-Imm-O visa for those over 50 or retired. It requires a financial proof and can be extended to a 1-year permit of stay inside Thailand, if one can meet the financial requirements (either 800,000 THB on a bank account in you sole name or proof of 12 months of consecutive transfers of a minimum of 65,000 THB to your Thai bank account). Upon entering you should open up a Thai bank account and transfer the 800,000 THB as soon as possible, because when applying for the 1-year permit of stay, the money needs to be seasoned for 2 months. As you are given 90 days admitted stay when entering, the timeline is doable

if she is born to a Thai mother, she is automatically a Thai citizen and can apply for a Thai passport at the embassy in your country. She will need her birth certificate, her mothers ID and some other documents. Only the Thai embassy will be able to tell you how to proceed

the Washington DC embassy doesn't mention any 2 months seasoning required for a bank account statement . . . . . . check here . . . . . /17/oalongstay/

and the 90-days Non-Imm-O visa does require 5000.- Euros in a fench bank account for 3 months, doesn't it ? It is a nightmare, I agree

@Beay *******
