Also remember that if you intend to stay in Thailand long term then the Non O-A requires you to buy insurance from an approved local insurance company for each Extension. You do not require insurance for each Extension if you start with a Non O.

If you want to discuss further then feel free to message me. It’s very difficult discussing in this group for a reason I can’t really go into.

You can do it yourself perfectly easily, but in person at your local Immigration Office. You will need 800k in a Thai bank account.

If you don’t want the money to be in a Thai bank account or don’t want to go to an Office then you can use an agent but you absolutely don’t have to.

Except for very particular circumstances, I would strongly recommend you get the Non O for Retirement from London and not the Non O-A.

Initially 90 days but then you can extend for another 12 months in Thailand, and do that each year.

In theory the answer might be no but in practice there definitely is an age limit. A friend was offered a job in Thailand but the employer (an International School) checked and said they wouldn’t be able to get him a work permit due to his age.

There are now no flights available on their website for the next 30 days so it looks as if they’ve delayed the restart once again and will cancel more flights as time moves on.

Their latest restart has been announced for July. Previous restarts have been cancelled. I’d wait until they actually start flying the route before booking. Only a couple of weeks away now.

Easy to buy an Android box already set up with all the channels you might want.

You’re welcome. If you’re flying in Business Class then



Can also provide the service but they no longer offer fast track immigration to Economy passengers.

If they’re allowed to operate again after Covid then:

If when you did your first Extension of Stay the requirement was 400k and you’ve done annual Extensions without a break every year since, then the old rule still applies to you. Won’t be many people left that this applies to though.
