Can Anyone Over 50 Apply for a Retirement Visa in Thailand with Dependents?

Remans, the word "retirement" refers to the word "work" only. They are opposites and, under no circumstances, cannot be applied at the same time. They are MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE so no, you cannot work (own business or not) at the same time.

>If retirement visa can be applied by any nationals of over 50 years ?

There is no such thing as a “retirement visa”. Tod Daniels wrote an excellent post about the visas that are considered “retirement visas”. Click on this link:

and read up on what the various types of visas are.

For the various visa, I believe the answer is yes, but the amount of paperwork required will vary depending on the nationality and the consulate that a person is applying at. For example, someone with an American passport applying in New York will have a lot less requirements than someone from North Korea.

>If applicant can get dependents visa for his native wife with children along ? If so if it will require 800k deposit for each person or only for the applicant ?

Yes, they can go on a trailing spouse/ dependent visa without requiring the extra 800K for each person. For children, I believe that is for people who are less than 18 years of age.

>If under retirement Visa, applicant can do business in Bangkok? I mean own company business ?

No, all “retirement visas” are “employment prohibited.
