Hello, I think I have a rather simple question regarding the O Visa but can't see an answer by searching the forum.
- My husband and I are both over the age of 50.
- We are UK Citizens
- We are planning to come to Thailand in April on a visa exemption with a plan of obtaining the O Visa while there
Question :
Do we need to have 800,000 Thai Baht in a Thai Bank each to obtain the visa or 800,000 total between us?
Sorry for asking a basic question but hopefully should be a quick answer for one of you lovely people.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The question is about the financial requirements for obtaining an O Visa in Thailand for UK citizens over 50 years old. Responses indicate that each spouse must have 800,000 Baht in their individual Thai bank accounts, or alternatively, they may use a joint account if the total equals 1.6 million Baht. It's suggested to consider applying for a 90-day Non-O visa before coming to Thailand.
