georgesch Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 We (vaccinated 65+) plan to return to Thailand around Oct 20. We plan to stay for 6 months. I am thinking that O-A is the best visa for this type of stay, or are there any other ideas? We applied for an O-A visa last year but were given a plain O visa unknowingly, which did cause significant problems upon our exit - resulting in 20,000b extension fines ... each.

Thai or non Thai wife? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgesch Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 Hi, we (my non-Thai wife and myself} have been coming for approximately 6 months for the last 3 years. This may be the last year. We are visiting my non-Thai son who is a permanent resident and his Thai/USA daughter. Since writing my original note I have spent some time on the Thaievisa site and am now even more confused; - can we apply for a Tourist visa and extend every 60 days? - Can we get an O visa when we don't have Thai national relatives?

georgesch Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 Well, here is another wrinkle; My multiple entry O visa from 2020 is valid until Nov 30, 2021. Can I enter the country with this visa and then apply for an extension? If so, after how many days? 90 or until the end of validity (Nov 30th)? Thanks again, g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again, g If you enter Thailand before Nov 30 2021, you will be given a 90 day permission to stay. You can then apply for an extension near the end of your 90 day permission to stay.

If enter prior to November 30th you will get a 90 day permit to stay that your non-o visa allows. 9 hours ago, georgesch said: Hi, we (my non-Thai wife and myself} have been coming for approximately 6 months for the last 3 years.

If your son has permanent residency you can can apply for a one year extension for being his parents. This from immigration order 327/2557 (see number 5). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
