Cancel O-A visa via Cambodia border run?
Jurg replied to eboy's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Your change over from your Visa shouldn't be a problem. BUT! If you are of the age nearing 75 years or if you are already over the age of 75 most definitely to maintain the Thai health insurance you have now for your OA Visa. Once you are getting your O Visa you could reduce your health insurance to a very small cover hence smaller premium to pay. -
Unfortunately with an OA Visa here you are forced into a Thai Health Insurance. Very expensive especially after the age of 75 years. Sooner then later one can expect that the O Visa also would require the same, a Thai Insurance, for a yearly renewal at the Immigration. Keep in mind: My advise is get as early as possible into a Thai Health Insurance. If you wait till you forced getting a Thai Health Insurance, especially after the age of 75 you are paying astronomical premiums just to get in!

I need to make a seperate Will here in Thailand for my Girlfriend too, that's what the Australian Lawyer advised me to do. May I ask approximately what costs are involved here in Thailand to get a simple Will, eg 800+ Bank account and house?

See a reputable Thai visa agency to find your answers. That is what agencies are here for. -

COVID infection risk raised back to ‘Level 4’ in Thailand
Jurg replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Why is everybody talking about they, meaning THE AUTHORITIES. It is up to us, each individual, to take personal responsibility as to prevent and or slow down the spreading of this virus. Without each individual cooperating, "they" meaning the Authorities cannot stop the spreading. How much longer before people wake up to this? -
What's the deal with the O-A visa?
Jurg replied to Paulaew's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Changing from an OA Visa to an O Visa would require you to leave Thailand, then re-entry on a Tourist Visa and then apply stright away for an O Visa in here in Thailand. Or am I missing something here? Please correct me if there is another way to change the OA Visa. -
What's the deal with the O-A visa?
Jurg replied to Paulaew's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Essentially I agree with what you are pointing out. All I would add is a person who is married with a Thai and or even has a child(ren) here in Thailand, would and could be looked upon of having "strong ties" with this country. -

I am on an OA Visa, but on my extention I had to not only produce a health insurance but also had to show 800000 Baht in a Thai Bank. Initial first application for an OA Visa issued by your country from where you apply for it you didn't have to have money in a Thai Bank. -

Motorists in Thailand can now use digital driving licenses
Jurg replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Screenshot of your licence may be OK too. In Australia, can't use their screen shot. And your digital licence when displayed on your mobile you can turn mobile fro. PORTRAIT TO LANDSCAPE, then your time will be displayed to prove that the displayed Licence isn't a fake or just a screenshot! Very clever ???? -

O/a conversion to o visa
Jurg replied to Alotoftravel's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I am in the same predicament OA to O visa. However with my agency we were able to find a cheaper version of insurance then when you try to research it yourself. So for the time I keep going with the OA Visa. (Listening around, the general expectations is that sooner or later also the O Visas will be hit with the insurance requirements.) -
Bangkok Bank Problem need advice
Jurg replied to problemfarang's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Within seconds I get a SMS from my bank if there is any withdrawal in my account. Asking me if the amount being withdrawn is authorised by me? If it is not authorised by me, there is a telephone number to ring and the withdrawal would not go ahead. In your situation I would have rang the number given in my notification SMS, and the withdrawal would not have happened without my consent. I totally agree with you, the account holder must be notified to be able to know when or before money is being taken out of his account, the amount and to whom it is intended to be paid. So if there is an unauthorised amount of money being withdrawn, the account holder and the bank can prevent / stop the payment.
