howerde Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 You will need to buy the insurance from one of these companies https://longstay.tgia.org/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you ever think about getting rid of the Non O-A? Like many others I have done so. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Dwyer Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 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 ). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately you have to leave the country with no re-entry permit to kill the OA extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
