Insurance for extension of Non-OA

Featured Replies

Hi,

Can anyone advise a cheapest insurance just for extension of non-OA?

I am looking for cheapest because I just need it for extension.

Btw, immigration is CW.

Thank you and have a nice day!

Did you ever think about getting rid of the Non O-A?

Like many others I have done so.

LMG historically was the cheapest with Pacific Cross not far behind, not sure if that’s still the case.

I did have the most recent table from LMG but deleted it as recently dumped the OA retirement extension and converted to an O visa, the reason being my premium increased from 7,700 baht to 26,800 baht ( age 61 ).

You would have to leave and re-enter the country without a re-entry permit. 

You could get a visa exempt entry by doing a border hop and then apply for the non-o visa at immigration.

Or go to a nearby embassy or consulate to apply for the non-o visa

Unfortunately you have to leave the country with no re-entry permit to kill the OA extension.

Which embassy or consulate has non-o visa application because I think not all embassy has it?

The embassy in Vientiane and the consulate in Savannakhet issue them. Both near the border to Laos.

The embassy in Kuala Lumpur also does them. See: https://image.mfa.go.th/mfa/0/n3gTFT2TOE/NON-IMMIGRANT_VISA_(O-Retirement)-new.pdf

If you qualify for a visa exempt entry you can do a border hop at crossing in Cambodia that is only a trip from Bangkok. You could then apply for the non-o at immigration.
