Do I need to secure a long-term rental before applying for a retirement visa in Thailand?
Hello, Do I need to secure a long term rental prior to applying for a retirement visa?
Answer summary
You do not need to have a long-term rental secured before applying for a retirement visa in Thailand. However, you will need to provide some form of residence documentation when applying. Additionally, applicants must be over 50 years old and have at least 800,000 Baht in a Thai bank account.

You need to be registered at an address (TM30). They could ask you for a rental agreement. I don’t know their policy on that one.Lewis *********

getting a retirement visa extension means you plan on staying long term, so immigration expects you to have a residency and a lease/rental contract.Stuart *********
Are you meaning in country or at a embassy overseas (or evisa system).
