Hello, need to renew my retirement visa end of November 2025 and I have 2 questions. I will apply in Pattay for renewal.
1. Financial part: For my current visa I opted for deposit option of 800000 baht in KB and left that amount untouched. Can I use that same money for my renewal now so I do not need bringing in another 800000?
2. Residence: For my current current I used the address and deed of my condo which I still have but I do not live there anymore and rent it out. I am staying with my Thai partner in a private house so I do not have a rental contract. Will this prevent renewal? Do I have to reside in condo? Thank you for reading this and any ideas.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user seeks clarity on two aspects regarding the renewal of their retirement visa in Pattaya. Firstly, they inquire if the existing deposit of 800,000 baht in their bank account can be utilized for the renewal without the need to deposit another 800,000 baht. Secondly, they ask whether not residing in their registered condo but rather with their Thai partner in a house affects their ability to renew the visa. Community responses suggest that the funds can be reused and advise on handling the residence issue. Providing a letter from the partner or using the condo address, along with necessary documents like the TM30, is discussed as feasible solutions.
