Who is the O-A for?
The O-A visa is aimed at people aged at least 50 who want to stay in Thailand for a longer period in retirement or long-term without working. It is popular among Finnish winter residents and retirees.
Because the visa grants a long right of stay, its conditions are stricter than an ordinary tourist visa, which is why the application needs care.
Typical requirements
The application usually needs proof of your financial situation (savings or monthly income), valid health insurance, a criminal record extract and a medical certificate. The exact thresholds and requirements are always verified at the time of application, as they can change.
Some documents, such as the criminal record extract, may require legalisation before the Thai authority accepts them. This is where many applications stumble.
The step-by-step process
We review your situation and list the documents you need. We obtain and legalise the required certificates, complete the application and check every attachment. This avoids papers being sent back and forth and applications being rejected.
Because we handle both visas and legalisation under one roof, the whole paper chain runs through a single point, a significant relief for an O-A applicant.
