I looked at OX requirements. They want 3 million baht in a Thai bank account. If my calculations are right, that's $95,000.

Also, Because I live in Qatar right now and do not want to fly back to US for visas, I may buy an Elite visa. You can find info about it online.

Also, I am US citizen. I've been researching insurance issues. If you send me your email by PM, I'll forward the feedback I have gotten from one agent. Very affordable compared to US policy costs, but you may also want to pay for Medicare to avoid later penalties. I will be doing more research on that issue.

My blog post on the insurance issue. Showed it to an insurance agent.

He said it was well written. Be sure to read the links at the update.

Thanks for all the advice. I do not want to fly home to the US to get the first Visa, if possible. I will see what I can do out of the Thai embassy in Qatar. I am also considering a 5-year elite visa. Anyone have experience with that visa. Thanks again.

and, don't I still need to prove 800,000 baht deposit before getting the visa?

@Evan *******
yes, but I currently live in Qatar. Is it worth flying home for that alone?
