Question Re: Retirement Visa Non-immigrant O-a

Featured Replies

I don't think you can mail documents to them unless you are a resident of Hawaii and requires an actual visit to the honorary consulate.

You can deal with them by mail, at least there was an example of that recently here on this forum. However, it was intra-Hawaii (the fellow lived on another island), so no help in identifying residency restriction.

Is this just a gut feeling-- or do you have indication of restriction? (I know some honoraries -- Denver and Miami -- restrict applications to state residents. Many others don't, however.)

Interesting that the Embassy has no mention of notarization. Oversight, or good sense?

The LA Consulate still requires notarization (per their website). Plus, they're adamant about "single entry only." I can't think of any valid reason to use LA for an O-A (or any visa) -- even if you lived within walking distance.....

Just a gut feel that they only support folks who are residents of Hawaii region or can actually visit their office. Hawaii falls within the Thai Embassy in Washington D.C. area of responsibility. It's good to see that the Thai Embassy in D.C. no longer mentions notorizaton. It's not realistic to get true notoraization on certain documents like a doctor's medical certificate...like the doctor is going to sign the certificate in front of a notary public.
