went to policy, they told me do it on line, and I did it, sent to embassy and they told me not a capable. Pain..after pain. The doctor letter is not a capable. I have to test for 4 disease and have my doctor fill the Thai form confirming I am clear. Again, pain since I am outside Canada now

@Dennis ********

just chatted with an agent. Close to 50k bht

I did that 2 years ago to Vietnam and stayed for a week. Got back to Thailand and when left Thailand had 3 days over the old 30 days visa. Got charged 1500 bht, so this is not guaranteed and at the discretion of the immigration officer

I and do the non O-A visa while in Thailand??? How do I get the medical and.police docs notarized or completed on the Thai forms

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

thanks! My issue is not the insurance or expenses, I will need the insurance regardless, but I just checked the O-A visa and it have the same requirements regarding criminal record certified, and the medical certification. I have obtained and submitted both through on-line and the embassy in Ottawa sent me their forms to be redone/refilled by the doctor and the Police in Canada. I am now in Turkey and will fly to Thailand, so almost impossible to get these done per the embassy requirements.

@Judy ******

@Steve *********

great, thanks. On a different note, i got my retierment 1 yr visa complicated by the requiermemts from the embasy. What is the best alternative way to stay in Thailand for longer that the 2+1 month? I am retiered, 60 yo, and have sufficient pension and over the 800k bht in the bank? Thanks again.

@Steve *********

Thanks Steve. Are your sure? My understanding is any foreign income is tax unless there is some exeption. I could be wrong though. You live in Thailand right now Steve?
