@Robert *******

yeah we sure did and they said nope. We even asked nice and they still said no.😎🤪😎

@Andrew ******

as they have said you DO NOT need medical insurance for the Non-O retirement visa. You DO need it for the Non-OA. I know this because I just came here on the Non-O.

@Wannikea ********

if we go that was the crossing we planned to use. Is there a problem with that one?

@John *********

you are correct they did speak some English. But as you might suspect this matter is of fairly large (huge) importance to me so speaking “some” English is not good enough. I want to be as sure as possible before my next move, as I did make a mistake on the last one. That’s why I come here for answers. Thank you for your help!

@Stuart ********

thank you! I have seen on this site that you clearly know what you’re talking about so I was hoping either you or

@Brandon ***********

would answer this question. Like I have said I really only want to use an agent as an absolute last resort. So this was the answer I needed. Thanks again sir! 🙏😎🙏

@John *********

they told us that we would have to go to Cambodia and re-apply for the retirement visa. Once again it’s just nearly impossible to get the same answer from two different agencies and since I can’t speak Thai I have to rely on my wife to translate. Her English isn’t bad but………not sure I’m getting all the info right.

@Marianne *******

we didn’t get our US marriage license stamped by the Thai Consulate in Los Angeles before we came here. I didn’t see anywhere in the process that it was a requirement. Now that we are here they say that it has to be stamped in The US.

There is no way to get that done without flying back to Los Angeles and I am NOT doing that the flight freaking kills me. So……..there it is.

@Pam *************

well I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who made that mistake. I’m almost positive it was not explained when applied for the Non-O. I think rather than doing that we will just go to Cambodia (its closest) and apply for the regular retirement Non-O. Do some exploring in Cambodia 🇰🇭! Thanks for sharing that information. Mmmmm they don’t make it easy do they? 😎🤪😎

@Erik **********

yeah I made a huge mistake trying to save money. I should have just done the retirement visa. I am trying to fix it now but as I’m sure you know every single person or agency gives you different information.

@Tony *********

I thought about that but I am worried they won’t stamp it unless I am actually there.
