Do i have to sign a long term home rental lease of 6 months or 1 year to qualify for my retirement visa? Siam legal said i need to sign long term to qualify. Someone else said i can get the visa with just staying in a hotel room? Any thoughts?
TLDR : Answer Summary
There is conflicting information regarding whether a long-term home rental lease of 6 months or 1 year is necessary for qualifying for a retirement visa in Thailand. Some sources, such as Siam Legal, suggest that a long-term lease is required, while others indicate that short-term arrangements, such as staying in a hotel or a monthly lease, may also suffice depending on the immigration office. Actual requirements can vary by immigration office, so it's advisable to check directly with them for clarification.
