What are the requirements for obtaining medical clearance for a Non-Immigrant O-A visa at the Thai consulate in Los Angeles?

Marty *********

I am from El Cerrito. I dropped off the form at my doctor’s office, he signed it, and I picked it up the next day. Didn’t even see him. I have had the same doctor for 30 years so he knew my health status. Check with your doctor. Ask what they can do.

What are the recent changes in how foreign funds can be transferred for Thai immigration requirements?

Marty *********

Yes. All my transfers from Bank of America to Kasikorn show up as domestic transfers. Fortunately, I'm not doing the monthly income method.

@Charlie *********

CW Bangkok asked for a map showing the location of my condo last November. It’s something easy to do before you go. I think this year I will take a picture of myself in front of my condo as well. I tend to over prepare.

What are the requirements for extending an OA non-immigrant multi-entry visa in Thailand after two years?

Get the requirements during your first year so you can use the second year to prepare for the financial requirements.

Can I stay in Thailand legally if I marry my Thai fiancé while on a tourist visa?

Marty *********

I don’t know where you are in the process but it will take a week or two to get married from start to finish. Factor that into your time in the country. That is marriage registration. A Thai ceremony is a whole other matter. I was married last month.

What are the requirements for the Non-Immigrant OA visa application and 90-day reporting in Thailand?

Marty *********

Note that you cannot work in Thailand on an O-A visa. At least those were the conditions of O-A visa I got in the US. Look into those requirements if you were planning on doing anything that looks like work here.

Which visa should my husband and I apply for to stay in Thailand long-term?

of course. I referred them to their Consulate in Canada but the O-A visa should be the same. Read my original comment.

@Kimberly ***************

I got mine at the L.A. Consulate in the US. You submit documents one day and get the visa the next day. You want to get your medical form and criminal background check done first and the background check took a week to get the results. There should be a list of other documents at the website for your Consulate.

Which visa should my husband and I apply for to stay in Thailand long-term?

Marty *********

Your husband would apply for an O-A visa in Canada after he turns 50. I'm not sure what you can do. I'll let the moderators tackle that one. Maybe there is some sort of marriage or dependent visa.
