I am turning 50 later this year and planning to apply for a retirement O-A visa in Chiang Mai where my life partner lives. Since LOS does not smile on same sex marriage, he is not legally considered to be my husband (although he and I have committed to eachother in our own ceremony).
It would help facilitate my acquisition of a type O-A (non-immigrant type "o-a" retirement visa) if I were to travel from the U.S. to Thailand on a type O visa. It seems that the most common way to get a type O is to visit your wife, girlfriend/fiancé etc. Has anyone (any man) in here ever used, going to spend quality time with my boyfriend as a premise to get a type O visa, and succeeded? Wondering how gay friendly the Portland, OR. Royal Thai Consulate is
in advance... Thanks for your help. David/bond23
