Can you apply for a retirement visa in Thailand without having 800,000 baht?

Jim Thompson Yes, 25<30. I am factually correct. Thats very little isn't it?

Why would someone who is of my status, not doing well? Dude you drunk or something?

Paul Hinshaw can use civilian lawyer but more expensive

Bob Erends you could have certified by civilian lawyer but more expensive

Wayne Ellis Non O does NOT require insurance...

Vulcan Eric no you don’t.

But no need to transfer the money to Thailand, not even need a bank account

Vulcan Eric After last year's episode with Bangkok Bank - I keep a significantly lower balance and I find agent convenient now

800,000 baht converted to australian dollars is 34,000

Graham Seal Be carefull, 2 times 3 months in some offices

Rick Townsend very achievable. I get at least 7% on super, and my wife has investments that get 14%+.

Rick Townsend My super is running at 7

Just blocked you.

Jim Davis What a rubbish answer. We are not talking about prostitution here. When you talk about something, do not evade the main topic. that is very bad way to talk. We are talking about agent in Thailand. There are people here saying agent is illegal in Thailand. So to find it out, they can call the police. Here thai visa center is the admin in this group. Then we can know if agent is really illegal in Thailand. I do not think agent in Thailand is illegal. even totally legal. Prostitution is clearly illegal like vaping in Thailand. So nooe is saying, prostitution is legal in Thailand. This can not be a topic to dispute. PS) how did you survive in this world with that empty brains or lower IQ? You are too dumb to survive in a very competitive world. If you did, you must thank yyour country! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Alan Lockhart good luck with that for your initial application

Vulcan Eric what ele would you have to do ,, you are in thailand lying on the beach...

Scott Manning but you did not coorect me , so you did not know how mutch otherwise you would have a normal nice reaction and gave the correct ammount like John finlow

John Finlow yes typ that what i meant

Tim Lievesley Wieso sagst du "falsch" wenn "richtig" stimmt. Besserer nichts schreiben wenn man keine Ahnung hat und somit hier nur den Fragesteller verunsichert.

Tim Lievesley but you did not coorect me , so you did not know how mutch otherwise you would have a normal nice reaction and gave the correct ammount like John finlow

Tim Lievesley im about to do this as i dont have 400k . The agent in kohn kean is charging 55,000 bht.

Dose that sound right for non o marraige visa ?

จอน สู้สู้ more bullshit, it's an extension that costs 1900B, a visa is 2000B

Tawow Fombec if the legitimate process actually worked consistently and fairly, and was enforced - then we wouldn’t need the agents with their work-around. But…

Tawow Fombec you don't like corruption you don't go Thailand. Whole freaking country runs on it

Steven Whitley

Can’t use this method on your first year.

Has to be 800,000 in bank first year.

Steven Whitley bei Anwesenheit über 180 Tage sind sie steuerpflichtig. Bei 90 000 im Monat wird es teuer

Gary Parks you’d think it would be that obvious, but I had first my lawyer, then an agent attempt to explain the sane explanation, before coming back to me and saying “can not”.

It was just the height of bureaucracy for the officer to refuse on a made-up technicality like that. The monthly payment period like that isn’t even defined in the laws. It was just a variation applied by the local office - which is why I ended up having to travel to get it done elsewhere, slightly more sanely.

Michael Teague yes, better you ask for.

The guy will not be chained and deported. He has a legal 1 year extension.

Kevin Charles Moore I am sure I know better than you after 18 years and 3 months in Krabi province as a permanent resident. Wait and see...

Bob Erends excuse me I arrived here with a non o from Canada 5 months ago

Osian Ledger exactly 💯

Robin Smith I keep it over 1 million just to be ready for the inevitable increase.

Theres no educating some people mate lol ,, he probably uses the 800k for hes visa , thats even if he’s ever been to Thailand, but if he has and used the 800k for hes visa ,, now he scrimps and saves to buy hes self an affordable meal 😂

Young 800 000 THB is more than enough to live in Thailand. Unless you have kids or spend your night out like a complete retard.

Phillip Drake 1.6M is not a big money 😂😂😂

Preben Kronborg Nielsen rubbish gee you trolls need to get a life

Preben Kronborg Nielsen they will for sure.

It’s not illegal to use an agent.

Preben Kronborg Nielsen Immigration take a cut from agents so the practice will never stop. It's not about if you can afford the 800k its do you want it sitting in an account making nothing. I know plenty people here who use an agent for connivence and not because they cannot afford it. I live here 22 years now and always use an agent.

Ray Low-On in which country/currency are you getting a fixed 6%? Genuinely interested

Ray Low-On 6%, on what?

Ray Low-On where you getting 6% pal? Must be an old annuity

Ray Low-On man bekommt auch hier Zinsen.

Aber wo bekommt man 6% Zinsen???

Ray Low-On Why would you put 1.6 millon baht in a thai bank (800.000 for spouse??)

That's only when you put 2 names on the bank account.

No reason to do that.

Robin Banks finally someone who actually read the retirement fine print!

Robin Banks great posting robin ans smart what you are doing

Robin Banks bientôt tu te fera virer

Robin Banks The foreigners who do not use are so jealous to you, who use agents. They can not afford to pay agents. It is too much for them. That is why they always screamed That is illegal, police catch you! you get banned! like that..so poor life they have. regardless of all, why they care so much about others who just pay their money and use agent? is that money theirs? Why they care so much of others business?? what matters to them how other people spend their own money?? Just they are so jealous and poor losers only. You have enough money to hire agents! this is only fact. If I also have enough money or rich, I surely hire agents to do everything for me. How much it is? I do not care, because I am rich. Just imagining this makes me happy. Money is good! I am actually envy you because I can not afford it, but you can. and your life is easy, no worries about your bank in Thailand. Your money is in safe place, and you just use your money for whatever you want. How great is it! when extension comes, you just put it all to your agent and agent does everything and give you stamp! You can save your times and energy and enjoy your life while poor foreigners prepared all nonsense Thai documents and go and back to Thai bank and immigration and waiting hours there. If just lucky, they can get the stamp on the same day. Then they post I got successful extension!! congratulations to me!! And all poor foreigners put likes! I saw that posts a lot here, but I do not understand they always said, extension is easy, do it by yourself! it is cheaper!! But if that is so easy, why so many foreigners posted such congrats for successful extension? if so easy, no one posted or no one has interest in it at all. because it is so easy and everyone does. noone posted I am eating successfully and congrats!!! 😂😂😂😂

Robin Banks how much can you get out of 800K. Does that really make that much of a difference versus all the games you would have to pay for agent. What is going rate for an agent now 15k to 20k?

Robin Banks not legitimate, one of the reasons for the visa crackdown is the relationship between visa agents and some bank staff that led to scamming and tarring everyone with the same brush

Robin Banks thank you so very much for identifying as a Cheap Charlie to all of us. Cheap Charlies SUCK

Robin Banks you sound full of sh++

Yes, but Irina asked for getting a visa without posting 800K. If the agency can do that, they must be taking a shortcut somewhere. It's a question of time until this practise won't work anymore, then you'll be blacklisted. Not a good idea.

Miguel Maitri Rodriguez the issues for you are as soon as the Agent takes the 800k from the bank (next day) your retirement visa is void

Brett Catton That is my reading too.

Mark Azavedo Fewer and fewer embassies supporting the affadavit these days. Not sure why that is

You’d have to get in touch with the Thai visa Centre for the price,, all agents charge different prices roughly from 40k to 65k baht

...show immigration your bank book

Ken Watson of course it’s legal. What possibly makes you think it’s not legal?

Ha ha another pathetic answer ,, please explain why it’s not legal ,, if it wasn’t legal they wudnt do it , there’s agents up n down the country who offer this service ,, your retirement visa is no better than a man’s who uses an agent ,, in fact the man who uses the agent has got a bit more about him for not putting the 800k in an account for roughly 5 months without making a fcuking button,, now thats common sense 😂😂😂
