IMA_FARANG Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Just out of curiosity...are there any reports of anyone getting a non O multi-entry visa anywhere in Asia (including such places as Japan, Korea, etc.) in the last (say) 2 years based on retirement? I'm not referring to Non O visas based on marriage to a Thai....but strictly for retirement. I know they are very difficult to get now...if you get one at all you usually get a single 90 day entry non O which you then extend in Thailand. I don't need one myself, but a family member is retiring in the U.S., and for some reason he wants to know the answer to that question. I told him to get it in the U.S. if possible...but he asked me about the possibility of getting a multi-entry Non O for retirement in countries in Asia....so I'm looking for any information on that topic. And he's not married to a Thai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Japan I expect would be a real problem but even in the US believe some Consulates are again issuing multi entry after the change that they can no longer provided O-A long stay visas. I suspect Oz would be the best choice in Asia area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrry Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I thought Non-o/a visas had to be got in your own country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beechguy Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I thought Non-o/a visas had to be got in your own country. They do, the Op is asking about one year multi-entry Non-Immigrant "O" Visas, not the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But nothing stopping him getting a non O over the retirement age , but it wont be based on retirement... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The usual procedure for many, is to obtain an "O" (O for other) Visa and apply for a one year extension of stay based on retirement.
