Why oa visa
Re: Why oa visa
I believe a lot of Embassy's such as the one in London will no longer issue 1 year multiple entry Non O visas.
The will only issue a 3 month single entry.

Re: Why oa visa
Use the single entry then get a new 1 year one in a bordering country
Does not seem that difficult

Re: Why oa visa
No need for money in a Thai bank is one reason.
Another is the 2 year effective validity of a multi-OA.
May not be so attractive in future if the new insurance requirement becomes a fact of life.

Re: Why oa visa
You can only get a retired Visa if on state pension
Re: Why oa visa
Is that the criteria at the Thai Embassy in London? Receiving a UK state pension?
It seems strange that the MFA says eligibility for the 50-and-up but their Embassy says you have to be 60-something-and-up and thus legally retired?
Re: Why oa visa
My understanding is the newly announced mandatory insurance needs is for O-A applicants and (so far) hasn't been linked to Non-O's for retirement or marriage.
Re: Why oa visa
It was when I applied in June 2018 (see separate thread).
I am presently on the 2nd year of my OA visa and, on its expiry, will need to give thought as to how I apply again next June. My own personal circumstances are that I have full insurance cover under an annual Travel Policy so, any need for Medical Insurance locally would be a waste of money and provide me with inferior cover to that which I presently have.
Not ideal but, it is what it is and totally understand what our hosts are attempting to do. Just feel sad that my life is complicated by all the irresponsible dickheads who populate the world. I worked hard and paid millions in tax to support wasters in the UK and thought I had avoided that by trying to live a quiet and peaceful life out here.

Possibly referring to the non-o multi entry from Savannakhet based on marriage.

In my posts all fees and requirements are the standard R&R but TIT and a brown envelope can make incredible changes YMMV.

Re: Why oa visa
Sorry Chris it is easy to get an O visa for marriage without showing set amount of money
Both Savankehet and HCMC consulates give visa O marriage multiple re-entry without showing finances

Re: Why oa visa
Yes but only at those 2 all the others, Vientiane, Penang, Singapore, etc require proof of the same amount as the extension, though only in the bank not seasoned.
