Do my wife and I need to deposit 800K each for our retirement visa in Thailand?

When questions like this arise that's about the perfect time for a Visa agent to get involved and get everything sorted out. Stress-free and time efficient.

Two step process..

1. Apply on thai boi website for approval letter as primary applicant...

2. Apply for thaievisa website for Evisa

3. Fell free to DM me anytime..

Each visa and extension is individual. You each must meet the requirements individually. Your marriage ( assuming neither of you is Thai ) is not considered

some embassies allow your partner to apply for the "dependent" 90-days Non-O Visa without own finances, IF the main caretaker is on a 365-days Non-Imm-O/A Longstay visa, having fulfilled all the requirements for such.

you don't need any health insurance if you apply for the 90-days Non-Imm-O Retirement Visa, - everyone for him/herself. Each one of you needs 800,000 THB equivalent in your home bank account for the application to the visa itself. After having entered Thailand, each one of you needs to open his/her own Thai bank account in your sole name (!!) as soon as possible, and transfer the required minimum of 800,000 THB onto it. As soon as the money has been sitting in your two accounts for 2 months, you can apply for the "1-year extension of the stay permit based on retirement" from the 90 days stay permit to a 1 year stay permit. You can only apply on Immigration if you got a valid TM30 accomodation registration, otherwise Immigration will not service you. Some Immigrations accept a hotel stay and the hotel's TM30
