Is a combined income of 128,000 Baht per month sufficient for a retirement visa in Thailand, or does each spouse need 65,000 Baht?

Thaievsia.go.th.

So you need $4500 per month passive income or $60K in the bank to get retirement visa for a couple? That doesn’t make sense

If you are married to a Thai marriage visa a month

My non-o 90 days visa had no mention of my Thai wife. Neither did the 12 months extension of stay. We maried in Thai but nobody has asked for that.

What is …”128.000”… in Baht a month?

No the socal secruity from work in thailand is for your hospital and doctors treatment . Thats only if you work there .

What are the rules in your country regards social secutity when living abroad ?

To retire comfortably in Thailand, it is recommended to have all the required financial resources to acquire the visa. This is your starting point.

After one year of monthly transfers (12 separate every month) yes but you need a translated and accredited marriage certified from your Thai Embassy, before you leave.

You need to look at the different visa types. If one of you were to get a Non-OA 12 month retirement visa in your home country then the other could potentially get a 90 day Non-O dependant visa which they would extend inside Thailand. You would then only need to show the one lot of 65k baht equivalent in your home country bank, no income requirement for the dependant. If you go the 90 day Non-O route then you will likely both have to show the 65k baht equivalent in your home country and once you arrive in Thailand you will each have to put 800k baht minimum into a Thai bank account in order to get a 12 month extension of stay

One of you can have the visa if the pension is 65k thb or more per month. The other can be a dependent. You have to deposit it into a Thai bank account for 12 consecutive months before you can use your pension to qualify. Best to start with 800k thb in the bank and the other being a dependent.

sounds like they are financially challenged

To begin with both of you will need bt800,000 each in separate Thai bank accounts to get your first one year extensions. There is no exception to this for US citizens. By each of you making 12 consecutive months deposits of at least bt65,000 both of you can switch to the monthly deposit method after the first year. This is your only option as Americans. Not every immigration office allows mixing monthly deposits with bank balances to meet the requirement after the first year, so do not count on doing that after the first year.

Do ur home work u can mix the two together with saveings

Get yourself a visa agent and they will sort you out.

Each in separate Thai accounts
