noted with thanks. I will let my friend know.

The chart was from ChatGPT

It’s not that I don’t believe you. I’m sure you and everyone is right

Thank you and I will let my friend know and see whether she’s able to apply a non o from Canada.

How can a Singapore passport holder transfer 800,000 baht for a Non-O retirement visa in Thailand if she's unable to open a bank account?

I’ve just checked and they offer non OA and non OX ( 10 yrs) only

Anyways, my friend in Canada was told by Thai embassy that non O can only be applied in Thailand

I applied a non O in consulate in hk and it’s an OA. Only in Thailand that you can apply for a non O without having insurance. I’m in Thailand now with a non OA for 2 yrs before I flew out and came back in to Thailand and applied for a non O

@Stuart ********

in other words it’s better for her to apply for a OA retirement in Canada and upon arriving in Thailand then apply for a bank account ?

What type of visa should I apply for to transition from a Retirement OA to a Retirement O visa in Thailand?

@Dennis *********

I wanted to know what sort of visa ( single tourist , tourist exemption) I should have when entering thailand in order to apply for the O retirement visa.

Because I will be in hk for only 2-3 days, I’m afraid I won’t have time to apply for single tourist visa so it’s good to know that with my passport( Singapore), I can enter thailand without a visa and it will be visa exemption

I have been in thailand for the last 2 coming 3 years now. I’m on OA retirement visa and I have everything in place - 800,000 in bangkok bank ( have been showing immigration bank account statement for the last 2 renewals)

I’ve to return to hk in nov 2022 and that’s also the time my OA retirement visa will expire. I’m going to exit thailand and come in so I can apply for O retirement so I don’t need to apply for insurance each time I renew my visa.

I have yellow book so no need of residence certificate
