Jingthing Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) OA visa and expentions Yes required O.visa and extensions Not required So start with an O visa and you can avoid the insurance requirements Edited May 19, 2023 by Jingthing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqwakvfr Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 1) Non Imm O? 2) Non Imm OA ? This would be the first question that needs to be answered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I'm assuming he will want to start with an O, not an OA. So the next question is how he can best get the initial O. In his home country, in another country, or in Thailand (as a conversion from a tourist visa or entry stamp). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy 696 Posted May 21, 2023 Author Share Posted May 21, 2023 Thankyou for info, did I see somewhere that marriage is necessary/essential to Thai, or was someone changing from marriage to retirement? As easier to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metisdead Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 In January 2009, I applied for a Marriage Extension and was given the 90 day under consideration stamp when the Bangkok Immigration office was in Suan Plu. I went back to the Suan Plu office in early March, the immigration officer reviewed my paper work and my bank book and saw that I had more than 800,000 Baht so he gave me the Retirement Extension. His reason: It's easy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As easier to do. You have two choices. Non O with extensions based on retirement or if married based on marriage. (if married to a Thai) Some married guys choose based on retirement due to much less paperwork and no under consideration period. Some choose based on marriage because the financial requirements are much easier than for retirement. Edited May 21, 2023 by DrJack54 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
