Both needing a return ticket (England) It does not need to be a return ticket. Any onward flight is fine. It's not for immigration it's actually for airline at departure. He can enter visa exempt and obtain a non O retirement. He could use an agent to obtain bank account. Not simple with visa exempt and tourist visa. He can also obtain a non O retirement in the UK. If he finds paperwork difficult for a tourist visa note that the paperwork for non O-A is more onerous. Edited March 5, 2022 by DrJack54 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only for some cases (ie for those who have been in Thailand on a Type-OA for some time). For anyone new on a 1st extension (and dependent on date also for a 2nd extension) on their permission to stay in Thailand, Phuket DOES insist upon the insurance. I know that because they demanded health insurance from me (and would not accept my superior European health insurance). Had it not been for the pandemic, I would have left Thailand (to void my Type-OA) and returned Visa exempt and applied for a Type-O. ... Instead, because of COVID, I've applied for an extension on my permission to stay in Thailand based on marriage to a Thai woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those who have used OA to enter for retirement, is the cost of insurance less than the cost of return ticket?
