@Steve *******

thanks!

I’m also on OA route, approved and coming in Oct. Thinking ahead what is the best option to continue staying long term. Thanks

@Steve *******

Sorry to hijack but can I ask the following, 1. Can the monthly 65,000 transfer be used as expenses or you cannot touch it? 2. After a strategic bounce on end of first year OA visa period, you get another 12 mths stay. Before your second 12 months is up, you applied for O visa within BKK and on yearly extension since then? As the original OA visa is no more valid.

@James *******

thanks ! But wonder if will it be better if I apply O visa within Thailand then.

@James *******

thanks but my first OA visa would have expired already by the added one year.

@James *******

thanks. This means I can stay in Thailand for 2 years without extending my OA as long I continue to have the medical insurance valid. So what happens after the one added year stamp if I want to continue to stay?

@Bobby *******

quick question, so during the ‘second year’ where your first OA visa has expired, can you apply for an O visa so that you can continue to stay over to the 3rd year?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@James *******

just curious why OA requires medical insurance while the rest no need.😅

@Lee ******

thanks, yes will stick to the non OA. Cheers
