There seems to be some confusion here of thinking that a Non 0-A has the same priviliges that a Non O visa for retirement has. I hold an O-A. I was planning on leaving the country and return on a Non O visa. The main reason was to avoid the mandatory insurance. After having contacted the Penang Thai Consulate to make sure that I understood all the implications and had all the necessary paperwork prepared, the bomb dropped for me. A Non O visa does not entitle you to remain in Thailand continuously on an extension of stay as it does on a Non O-A. You must leave every 90 days. Only an O-A allows you to remain in country for 1 year. There was no work-around such as extension of stay as in the O-A .This is coming directly from the Penang Office. 

 

Now, a poster on Thaivisa, MJKT2014, said that he has a Non O and has been continuously extending his stay for over 10 years. According to Immigration, that is not possible. It is possible to extend the stay if the O visa is changed to an OA, which may have been the case with this poster but he forgot to mention it? Penang says impossible to extend for 1 year on Non O without visa run.

 

Anyone care to comment?

If you are married officially in Thailand with a Thai lady you can go very easy to a NO O marriage visa(90 days) in first and then extend after the first 60 days to extend for one year and this without border run.

I am 73 with OA extension since 2014 and i have a very good insurance from my country and they do want accept it,anyway my insurance company cannot fill and  sign document from the Thai health authority,legally cannot,then my only way is to go out the country without re entry permit and ask in Laos or anywhere a O Visa marriage,i am married in Thailand since 2012 then very easy for me.November 22 i do my 90 days report and i will ask to the IO if the rules are the same like last year,i will never speak about insurance and will listen what he say exactly.

Yes

 question for UBONJOE,if i quit Thailand without re entry permit,i will loose my OA visa,if i come back 3 days later on visa exemption from Laos to Thailand,i will receive one month,after 15 days i can extend to NON O visa for 90 days and 60 days before the end of this Non O  extension i ask to the immigration office a extension for one year marriage visa of NON O retirement,is it the correct way to do it, is it necessary to make every 90 days a border run with this marriage visa.What is the best for me?

If i extend to NON O retirement,i will avoid also this new rules about insurance,i have already a very good one but the autority doesn't accept it,need be a thai insurance between the 12 on the website,with this NON O retirement is it also with every 90 days border run?

About financial it is not a problem i have all the documentation and i am married in Thailand officialy and retired(73)

Can an extension of stay based on retirement originating from a Non Imm O-A visa be changed to extension of stay based on being married to a Thai, and if so can this be done anytime prior to the Retirement extension expiring.

I think you need wit until the expiring of your extension but anyway if you change to marriage visa your basis visa will stay OA and we will see in the futur wat the lawmaker will do with this situation concerning the health insurance.

yes no way if you can see the little motorcycle 130 km/h on the road faster that my car with little short sometimes no shoes and no helmet,how can you survive this if a crash,i saw yesterday a lady with 4 little children on a little motorcycle,can you imagine if some crash,irresponsibility and laxness from the authority,i think in 100 years i will be ok.

In Cha am yesterday PM2.5 86 microgram/M3 and today the maximum was 52 microgram/M3 and they continue to burn charcoal,they will never learn,it is time that they use google,education first.

It is not the TM 6 the problem to see more tourists,it is the value of the baht,they think the tourist will more booking if they delete this TM6,never they will go to Vietnam Laos,Myamar,Cambodgia,they are not good busy,the baht is 10% too high,they go certainly like this in the wall.The wheel turn and 1997 wiil come back.

it can happen if they don't do nothing,i think the GDP will not go higher of 1,8% in 2019,there is not yet a recession,but they need to be careful and readjust the currency,economy for a country is very important and the last 6 months tourism and export are going down and down.

Ok they win the tour but without panache,during these 3 weeks the most exiting man was Julian Ala Philippe,a real fighting man,won twice i think and keep the yellow jersey more of 10 days,i hope next year i can win this tour.

No i cannot appreciate this end of the tour.

And what about combination retirement + bank funds.If the retirement is around 60.000/month (letter from embassy) +60.000 on the bank 2 of 3 months before extension is it ok or not anymore?

i will make my retirement extension next year February for the first time in Tha Yang,the last  5 years in HuaHin without any problems,they never ask me a legalization from the affidavit from the embassy,my retirement is + 65000/month,i am from Belgium,may be is an other rule for marriage visa extension,i will ask in October if necessary for this legalization for this document,i am very curious and will continue to follow this topic.

i will move from HUAHIN to CHA AM the 31 march,i think it is an other province then need to go to the immigration office from THA YANG on this date with a TM 28 and a copy from the house contract,is it necessary also the the landlord go th immigration office of police station with the TM30

hello,

i live in HuaHin, and i look for inguinal hernia surgery;open and without mesh,and i prefer local anesthesia,anybody know a good surgeon,they are 3 hospitals here,or may better to go to Bangkok,St Louis or an other non profit hospital.Ihave an insurance then no problems about payment.
