Hi everyone,
After my father’s passing, my 56-year-old mother wants to move to Thailand to be closer to me. I’m currently living in Thailand on a DTV visa, but she doesn’t have the 800,000 baht required for the retirement visa. Our French embassy still issues income declarations, but they’re solely based on honor without any verification.
If she comes to Thailand without a visa, can we use the French embassy’s income declaration for her initial O visa application? By the end of the first year, she will have the 12 monthly payments of 65,000 baht required for renewal.
Thank you in advance for your advice!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user's mother wishes to move to Thailand but lacks the funds for a retirement visa. They inquire if an income declaration from the French embassy can serve for her Non-O visa application. Community responses suggest that if the embassy provides a notarized income affidavit, it may be acceptable for obtaining the Non-O visa and subsequent extension. Additionally, exploring other visa options as a dependent might also be beneficial.
