Im just completing application forms in the UK for an O-A Long stay visa. The form asked for 'Purpose of current visit' and 'Evidence substantiating your purpose of visit'. Im not sure what to put or whether to just put 'Long Stay' and leave 'Evidence' section blank or put 'attached' referring to police check, medical, and bank statement documents. I am 65 and retired and could put 'enjoy my retirement in Thailand' or 'considering permanent retirement in Thailand', but Im worried they will push me on to an 'O' visa which I dont want. I could put 'visit girlfriend or fiance' or stay with same. Knowledge of previous applicants and/or advice would be appreciated please.

Purpose of visit you could put retirement.

Funds in the bank or income could be put for the evidence section. And you could put see attached evidence.

 

 

 

It really doesn’t matter what you put. I would write ‘Long Stay’.

 

They will not push you to another category of visa as long as you provide the requirements for the ‘O-A’.
