Thanks Bill, what type of visa did you did you choose You brought your FBI report, Doctor's stamped clearance and your banking records to Thailand? Handled all there? What visa did you enter on?

@Philip *******

May I ask what visa type did you get at the airport?

@Stuart ********

Thanks. What is the best way to qualify on pension alone as with the OA in USA but convert to an O with reduced insurance requirements? My insurance is a bit pricey.

Hello, I'm going to seek a retirement visa my next trip in November. I plan to live Chon Buri near Bang Saray. I qualify financially with my monthly pension. Although I can put 800k baht in the bank if needed. My question:

Should I apply here at the Los Angeles, California, USA Consulate or wait until I arrive?

I prefer to use my pension documentation. My criminal and banking records are no concern.

Thanks in advance for your advice.
