ORIGINAL POSTER

I have a doubt about pensioner visa. Should 800000 baths be deposited for three months? And the duration of the visa is one year? To renew it I have to do the same process with the money... every month for the same amount?

Tengo una duda con respecto a la visa para jubilados. Los 800000 baths deben depositarse por tres meses? Y la duración de la visa es un año? Para renovarla debo hacer el mismo proceso con el dinero… cada mes por la misma cantidad?

TLDR : Answer Summary

To obtain a Thai pensioner visa, you generally need to deposit 800,000 Baht into a Thai bank account for at least two months before applying and maintain it for three months after applying. The initial pensioner visa is typically valid for one year. For visa renewal, while you need to show that you maintain sufficient funds, this may differ from needing the full amount of 800,000 Baht every month afterwards.

Are you already inside Thailand? If so you would first apply for a 90 day non-o visa and then a 12 month extension of stay. You need 800k in the bank for both

Unless of course your embassy provides an income affidavit in which case you can just use that

The full money need to be in your thai account 2 month before application and 3 month after. For the rest of the year it must be at least 400,000 Baht.

Do I need to maintain an 800,000 Baht deposit in Thailand if I receive a pension of more than $2,000 a month from the USA?
