Do married British couples need 800,000 THB each in a Thai bank for retirement visas?

Yes 800 k EACH

Sent you a PM Ray 🙏

nope -

only once 800k thb

800,000 THB each.

If you are a dependant on your husbands visa, your husband only needs the 800,000 baht in the bank, make sure you have your marriage certificate, the original. 👍

You can get the retirement visa and your wife can piggy back with a Thailand dependent visa you just to have funds to look after her expenses

Your preferred method would be to prove you have income and avoid the cash deposit as I understand it

Thank you for the Philippines !

About £ for both

yessss

Hello, when we arrive as a long term married, British couple, do we have to qualify twice on a pension income ?

I have a residence permit as a pensioner and do not need to have money in the bank. It is enough with one piece that I have at least baht a month from retirement

Ok let’s clear some things up. The OP has stated that they are both British so I have no idea why some comment on only needing 400K. That’s if you’re married to a Thai.

There is a typo in their original comment missing a zero in the amount needed. It’s 800,000 in a Thai bank in their name only.

They could potentially get a Non O based on being over 50 whilst the wife applies at the same time for a Non O based on being a dependent of a long term visa holder. This would alleviate the need for their own 800k in a Thai bank.

Some embassies will allow this. I have no idea of the policy in London but there’s certainly no embassy or consulate in SE Asia that will do this.

Chances are that they will each need 800k in their own bank accounts and apply individually for their yearly extension.

Perhaps London will issue the dependant visa. Others with direct experience of such may confirm.

Isn't it only 400,000 for a Non O based on marriage?

you need 0 not . And marriage visa 0

yes and separate accounts

Yes

800.000 each not 80.000 needs to be in a Thai bank too

Yes, it's 800,000B each, not 80,000B in a Thai bank account which permits instant access.
