Hi! I am going to try for a non O retirement visa in Thailand. I have some confusion about how much I need to deposit in the bank. Is it 800,000 baht regardless of your income or is it 800,000 minus your monthly income?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The requirement for a Non-O retirement visa in Thailand states that you must have 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account. This amount must be fully deposited in your name and the funds should originate from abroad. The 800,000 baht requirement is not reduced by your monthly income; it is a fixed amount, although there are alternatives where you can qualify with a monthly income of at least 65,000 baht.

Someone else wrote a combo for a total of 800,000 a year. Thai website says 65,000 a month OR 800,000 a year but I see other stuff ad well.

yes, I did delete that comment as it is incorrect and it was also telling you to contact an agent which is against the group rules.

You need the 800.000 Thb in a Thai bank account on your name and the money must come from abroad. You need some bank letters to proof this, next to your Thai bank book. Visit your bank branch to get the letters

Do you like to convert your 30 day Visa Exempt Entry or Tourist Visa into the Non Immigrant O visa based on being over 50 years of age?
