lkv Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) He is shocked that, on the non O-A, when people leave and come back, they will receive less months of a permission of stay, according to the insurance validity, and how someone can retire this way peacefully. Maybe someone can send him a text on Youtube, letting him know that non O-A is not a retirement visa. And Thailand does not have retirement visas, but visas for foreign retirees to visit Thailand. "This type of visa is granted to a person who is 50 years old or older and wished to enter Thailand for the purpose of tourism."

elviajero Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Having lived in a country for 18 years — that only give him permission to stay for 1 year at a time — you’d of thought he’d have figured things out by now! ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Town Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Got to admit, the TM-30 requirements have REALLY curbed my travel/spending within the kingdom. I'm hoping it will settle down within the next year or two. Otherwise, other countries beckon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"This type of visa is granted to a person who is 50 years old or older and wished to enter Thailand for the purpose of tourism." (Thai Embassy Stockholm) The O-A visa is generally described as a long stay visa for those over the age of 50. In my book, the main group of people over the age of 50 who want to visit Thailand for one year at a time is retirees. Indeed, there are members here who claim that no one who stays over 180 days a year in Thailand can possibly be a tourist. Now, if the Stockholm website is using a old meaning of "tourist" (someone visiting the country for pleasure without working) their description of the O-A visa as a long term tourist visa for those over the age of 50 has some merit. However, that does not seem to be the meaning being applied by many immigration officials now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, long means 12 months. Edited November 20, 2019 by lkv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
