said that she is looking at an 'Non-O A' Visa? All I read is that she's looking at Non-O, which doesn't require health insurance, unless it is country specific.

@Leigh **********

you do need to be at least 50 years old at the time of lodging an application for the 'Retirement' Visa.

What type of answers do you expect? You're opening yourself up to a lot of smart*ss comments like 'maybe a good cook', or 'a comfy mattress to bounce up and down on' 😜

@Trevor *****

I see that this is just your second post in this group. From what you wrote in your original post and your response to Alan Alan, which he won't be able to read directly, I can see why you've got that response from him and are likely to get from others. In my opinion, which you may or may not like, you have included far too much information, that while it may be true, can easily look to others that you've had trouble holding down a job for very long, perhaps bragging, and that you're trying to find a way to stay in Thailand long term, when most of what you've said, wouldn't allow that. When I first joined Thailand related Facebook groups, I learnt the hard way that revealing too much information will bring about negative comments for sure. Though I don't live in Thailand yet, but hope to do so in the near future, I've endeavoured to learn as much as possible that will help me, both here in Facebook and online searching.

Troll... and you're the baby, very immature!

@Craig ******

ok, but my thought was that simply providing a piece of paper that states that a couple is "still" married isn't proof, any more than the original marriage certificate. Having IO's visit the marital home, which I haven't read is being done away with, is better confirmation, though even that could be manipulated with a bit of help.

@Craig ******

just curious... A marriage certificate is proof that you married someone and a divorce certificate proves that a marriage has ended, but how can a piece of paper prove that one is 'still' married? I'm aware that IO's do house visits to check that a couple still live together, supposedly, but I don't know where this piece of paper fits in (knowledge for the future for me),

@Bonnie ********

ohh, we've got a smart a*s response eh? What

@Ron *******

said about different types of "Wai" seemed to me like something that perhaps only those with considerable experience in Thailand would be familiar with, so I asked him,not thinking that Google would have that depth of information about the "Wai"!

A word of caution: karma can be a b*tch too
