TLDR : Answer Summary
A UK property landlord plans to relocate to Pattaya, Thailand in January 2026, inquiring about recommended agents for visa assistance. Multiple comments indicate the necessity of having a minimum of 800,000 THB in a Thai bank account for a retirement extension, along with options for applying for a NON-O visa before arriving. Notable agent recommendations and advice for setting up bank accounts and managing visa applications are also discussed.
NON-O RETIREMENT VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES
Go to the Retirement Visa Section for information on requirements, including age restrictions, financial requirements, and necessary documentation.
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
Explore recent discussions by using the Non-O Retirement Visa tag in the search box at the top of the page.
Dependent non-o visas are very hard to come by these days maybe she would qualify for a DTV visa or if money is no problem look at the Elite visa for her

A retirement visa for you is easy enough, apply for the 90 day Non-O visa based on being over 50 before you travel, arrive in Thailand, open a bank account and put a minimum of 800k baht in it in the first couple of weeks, then once its been there 2 calendar months apply for the 12 month extension of stay.
Your partner is a bit more difficult, as your not married she would have to get her own visa and due to her age her options are limited. Either a DTV or a Thai Privilege visa would work for her

Try Champion visa on soi Post Office. My old pal who passed a few years ago used them constantly and was happy with them, he just paid them to do everything. The owner is a German lad but obviously speaks good English and has been there a good number of years now
I have his whatsapp number if you want me to PM it across?

If you’ve passed 50 years of age you’ll need three months bankstatments showing an income of minimum £ 1500 a month to apply for a 90 days Non O based on retirement in UK before you’ll leave.
In Thailand there’s no legal way around banking 800K baht in a Thai bank account two months prior to your first year extension of stay.
your income doesn't cut any ice in the first year of a "retirement extension". You need a minimum of 800,000 THB in your Thai bank account. It's up to you if you are willing to pay agents who use an illegal route to get you a one-year stay permit without funds. Feel warned!
hi I'm looking for retirement visa but also adding my partner who is 40 but registered as my uk carer and I can prove all income roughly 5k pcm and I can leave 800,000tb in account no problem and can get uk solicitor affidavits on any of this
who makes you think that you can add an unmarried "care" partner on a dependent visa ? You seem to not have done your homework. Well I reckon you best visit an agent in Thailand, pay some hefty money and see how far it gets you
he will soon find out that he is following a dream - instead of proper advice 😉 . . .the only reason I do not rhyme in, is because this thread already is a train wreck
