Non-O Retirement at Vientiane

[StevoLe]

I want to stop the extensions based on my Non-OA visa because of the required Thai Insurance.   I am considering going to Vientiane to get a Non-O visa for Retirement and I am wondering if anyone has recent experience.

 

Old threads mention a police clearance and medical certificate, but these are not mentioned currently on the Vientiane consulate site. I use money in a Thai bank currently for my extensions, so that is not a problem.  I live in the Udon Thani area, so Laos is very convenient.  I'll just enter visa exempt, if it gets to complicated.

 

Thanks.

Keep in mind that appointments are required at Vientiane.

 

Nothing wrong with your plan.

For me I would border bounce to Nong Khai and obtain the non O retirement at UT immigration.

The visa in Laos eliminates the application and under consideration steps in Thailand.   The border bounce was plan 2.

 

Thanks.
