What are the best long-term visa options for an American expat wishing to live in Thailand?
Rob **********
Look at the elite visa, or privilege visa as it’s now called, it’s probably your best option. You might be retired in the US but to get any visa based on retirement for Thailand you must be minimum 50 years old.

How can I transfer funds and apply for a Non O visa in Thailand after my OA visa expires?
Rob **********
You cannot switch from a OA visa to a Non O inside of Thailand, you need to leave the country to break the chain.

@Kyle *******
 you will definitely need to show the financial requirement of 800,000 baht in your own bank account, if you extend the OA visa inside of Thailand.

How long can Australians stay in Thailand without a visa?
Rob **********
Australian passport holders receive a free 30 day visa exempt stamp upon arriving in Thailand, you also have the option to get a 30 day extension at immigration for 1,900 baht. So basically 30 days for free and up to 60 if you wish for 1,900 baht.
