I have moved money with my Bangkok Bank app via Swift code to my Schwab account. I had no problem moving 700,000฿.  No questions asked. No papers to fill out. The money arrived the same day. Not sure what the limits are, if any.

How many times have you done this?

I recently went to Laos and back in an hour from Mukdahan. Technically it isn't allowed as it isn't in the spirit of the law, but it isn't actually against the law.

Thanks

Which clearly states that entry can be based for family members of a Thai national. So you are saying that people are lying for some obscure reason.  

 

"O"	To visit family or friends in Thailand, voluntary job, retirement, medical treatment, to attend judicial process, to work as diplomat's housekeeper
"O-A"	For applicants aged 50 and over who wish to stay in Thailand for an extended period without the intention of working.

O retirement Visa is not on the drop list to apply

NO, it is not correct that you MUST obtain an O-A Visa to be eligible for the COE and return to Thailand.  It depends on your situation > When married to a Thai national or with Thai dependent children a Non Imm O Visa is accepted.  Also applying for a NEW Non Imm O-A Visa is not required if your current Non Imm O-A Visa validity has not expired.  And normally also a Re-Entry Permit protected still valid permission to stay from an extended Non Imm O-A Visa would be accepted.

I dont have a OA retirement Visa I have a O retirement Visa

Without a COE you cant get on a flight end off so now you must obtain a O-A retirement Visa from RTE London then they will issue you a COE end off

Its a private Facebook group for UK/Thai couples. The guy got it on being a parent to a Thai child and he says it took him 4 days to get it. Other people have also posted similar. Why do not believe this ? Where is the announcement that Non-O visas are not being issued ? Non-O and Non-OA are very different visas.

Non-O currently obtainable for family members of Thai nationals and has been continually issued during the pandemic. The problem has always been getting a flight into BKK and thus a CoE. Since the relaxing of the issuing of CoE for airlines other than Thai, as announced by the Thai Embassy London on 25 Sept, the number of people wanting just to visit spouse and/or children does appear to have increased. Booking a return flight on is now much more practical.

Can't find a sticker.  The only mention of category is on the re-entry permit, which says 'non-imm'.  But looking back through the visa stamps on my passport, the original one says 'NON "O" RETIREMENT', and I've just been renewing that every year.  Also, there's been no requirement to have health insurance.

So presumably the requirement for an OA now is because it comes with health insurance.  

Does anyone know whether it's possible to convert an O to an OA in London?  

Why convert?

Just buy insurance

Just checked on the Facebook group and Os have been issued. This was from yesterday. With the O you used to be able to extend for another 60 days, no idea now. 

So send me the link that say O retirement Visa is allowed to fly back into Thailand?

I invested 800,000b into a thai bank in 2019 just so I could obtain a O retirement Visa and stay in Thailand.

Now I am in the UK and waiting to return but "not allowed" but yet if I buy a O-A retirement Visa from UK i can return.

What is the reason behind this Money?

Why can't we return on our valid visa?

Has a O retirement Visa got Covis 19 written all over it?

As long as we purchase health insurance we should be able to fly back

So why isn't royal Thailand embassy in London doing the same?

I guess loads of people are asking why we cant return to Thailand on a O retirement Visa?..Its a visa that we obtained in Thailand and have to hold 800,000b almost all year round which is a big commitment.Its shouldn't be about your visa as long as you respect thailand rules.Come on does this O retirement visa have Covid 19 virus all over it?

Where can I buy Clenil inhalers in Thailand?
