My husband and I are insured internationally through Blue Cross and Blue Shield with coverage provided that meets the new Thai requirements. We plan on getting our O-A Visa while in the States this year. However, I have read that we will still need to purchase additional insurance through an authorized Thai company in order for it to be valid. Does anyone have any FACTUAL information they can provide on this ever changing matter? Thanks for any help... ????

Is it known if I can apply in person and then have the visa sent to me when providing the postage paid envelope? I will be in the States for 3 weeks, but also at 3 different addresses...So time is an issue. Helpful link ubonjoe.

I currently hold an extension of stay for retirement and will apply for the O-A Visa in Washington, DC while back in the States in December. Can anyone tell me how long it normally takes to process the visa after submitting the application and required documentation? I plan on submitting my application by mail, but is it faster to apply in person?
Thanks in advance for any responses,
Chris

As an update, I did receive the one year extension today from Phuket Immigration with the Income Affidavit.

What is this? You are completely out there with this..... Hopefully somebody else have the strength to explain this MESS to you...

Sorry you saw it that way. I was told I could not apply for the extension before 30 days of my current O Visa expiring. I don't see this as such a MESS. If it's of any consequence to you, I did receive it today- 28 days before expiration.

Correct. I went today and received the extension with the income affidavit.

Best guess, he obtained a Non-Imm O and got 90 days permission and for some reason Phuket don't want to issue him an extension based on retirement until the last 30 days ?
Anyhow, Joe hit the question.

I received my O Visa in Penang last month and after going to Phuket Immigration last week was told that I can not apply to transfer it to an O-A Visa for another 45 days. I've read that the US Embassy will no longer issue income affidavits after December 31. Does that mean that Thai Immigration will not accept the affidavit as proof of pension as of January 1st even though it is valid for 6 months? When I asked the immigration officer if the affidavit would be accepted when I return next month he said it was valid for 6 months. Then he laughed (cryptically) and said I would need money in a Thai bank. Can anyone shed some light on the matter or have facts pertaining to the subject?

This may come a bit late, but maybe it will help someone else. I also saw the "5 star" reviews on Durai Raman, Durai Place Visa Service. I emailed him various times, and aside from a few hiccups, was pleased with his rapid responses. It sounded as though he knew what he was talking about, so I decided to use his service. He made an appointment to meet me between 19:00-19:30. After an hour I called the number on his Facebook page, but it was no longer valid. I sent an email, when his "clerk" said to reach him on another number. After reaching him, he said that he would be coming later and that he had many people to see that night as it was a Sunday. When he finally showed up, he was unapologetic and blamed me for not staying in downtown Georgetown. He did not remember anything we discussed via email, and said that I needed a piece of paperwork that I didn't have, even though he told me in an email what I needed to bring. I got the impression he was under the influence of something, and that I was not dealing with the same person with whom I emailed but someone else who did not know what he was doing. I wasted my entire evening waiting on him only to decided not to use him. I ended up going to Jim's the next morning where I had no problems what so ever and actually enjoyed his personality. Either way, I would stay away from Durai Raman Visa Services.
