O-A Visa Pitfalls

This is a good option, now that I know 1 year non-O ME retirement visas are easy to get from Savannakhet without a Thai bank account.

 

I went through the process on the Thai evisa website. All the steps were pretty straightforward. They wanted:

 

1. Passport upload

2. Picture upload

3. Arrival date, departure date, port of arrival

4. Flight number (don't have to upload a document)

5. Hotel staying at (name/city/zip only, no document upload)

 

Then on the final screen, this:

#1 and #2 are pre-populated from your previous steps.

 

#3 is unclear and there's no guidelines or a help link. I guess I would upload a driver's license first and see what they come back with.

 

#4 should just be a bank statement. And judging from this recent report, it needs to be over $30K.

 

No indication of insurance required.

 

This is the final screen. The button says "Done". I didn't go past this, as my travel dates are not set in stone yet.

 

 

 

I do not think Savannakhet Lao issues 1 year Non O ME visas. You can a 90 Day Non O from the Thai embassy there. Check their website.....

I want the 5 minutes of my life back that I was trying to read about O-A visa 😆
