Assuming I let the OA lapse.😀

@Lee ******

oh I can’t apply for a new O visa next year while I’m here soon on OA visa?

@Wayne ********

that will be great if this is the case. Thanks!

And if I renew my OA visa in country before Aug 2023, I suppose I will get an O visa which also means I don’t need any local Thai health insurance during my renewal. Is my understanding correct? TIA

@Wayne ********

I just got my OA visa expiring Aug 2023 and when I collect my passport at the embassy, they told me that I need to extend every 90 days (clarified via email again with embassy with same response) if you are not travelling out of country before 90 days is up. I will be arriving first week of October and I will know how many days stamp I’m getting.😅

@Wayne ********

yes 90 days reporting of address is a must from my reading of the embassy guidelines but 90 days extension (if you don’t leave the country before 90 days and get a new stamp) is something new to me and not in the guidelines. What is the process / doc required to get the 90 days extension. I’m on non immigration OA visa.

@Símon ***************

just curious why given 90 days when you have a non immigration O visa or OA visa which is a long stay for a year. Shouldn’t you get a 365 days stamp?
