What factors influence the choice between a Non-O visa and a Non-OA visa for retirement in Thailand?

Marty *********

You need the 800,000 baht deposit to get a 1 year extension of an OA visa. You can use your home country bank deposits to get the original 1-2 year visa.

Should I use an agent or go DIY for my retirement visa in Thailand?

Marty *********

What insurance companies can recommend for the OA visa application in Thailand?

Marty *********

The only reason I can think of is that you want to keep your money in your home country bank and you plan to return to your home country every 1-2 years to apply for a new OA visa.

Can I switch from a Non-O retirement visa bank method to the monthly deposit method without an affidavit?

Marty *********

You might consider keeping 800,000 in your account the two months before to apply for the next extension. If for some reason your attempt to use the monthly method is unsuccessful then as a backup you can continue with the deposit method.
