Thanks to Greg Alexander, you are the best!

I am amazed how careless people use the word “Retirement Visa”.

Do you mean the 90-days Retirement Visa or do you mean the 1-year Retirement Extension?

Actually, the term “retirement visa” can mean seven (7) different visas and stay permits, it depends what people like to say, be it wrong or not.

With kinds regards and thanks to Robert Lagas, who wrote it up and whose original text I have only marginally altered.

Once more, because people try to give advice based on what they think is a "Retirement Visa"

First of all, you DO not have to be retired to apply for this visa. You however need to be 50 years or older.

Well, some Thai embassies will insist that you already receive a pension, or they will tell you to apply for the Non-Imm-O/A Longstay Visa. What “your” embassy is doing, you need to check.

Second is that all options have DIFFERENT rules, regulations and requirements.

So please read and try not to give incorrect advice by using the requirements for a different type of visa or extension of stay.

What is a retirement visa?

It is a phrase used by foreigners and Immigration and it could be 7 different types of visa or stay permits, with different rules, regulations and requirements

OR

it could even be an 1 year Extension of Stay based on being over 50 years of age and willing to sit out the rest of their life inside Thailand.

It is easy to type “retirement visa”, but very difficult to understand which option the person refers to

Options are:

1. Single Entry Non Immigrant O visa based on being over 50 years of age

2. Multiple Entry Non Immigrant O visa based on being over 50 years of age (it got discontinued by October 2023 and is not available any more)

3. Non Immigrant O visa based on being over 50 years of age without entry by conversion at local immigration office

4. Non Immigrant O-A visa (Long Stay)

5. Non Immigrant O-X visa

6. Long Term Residency (LTR) visa

7. Extension of Stay based on being over 50 years of age and willing to sit out the rest of their life inside Thailand (stamp from Immigration, which is not a visa)

ONLY for options 3, 5 and 7 the applicant needs a bank account in Thailand or a Certificate of Income from their Embassy.

Option 2 cannot be applied for any more, since all Thai Embassies and Consulates took it out of the E-visa program.

Option 3 is applied for by conversion of your Visa Exempt Entry or Tourist Visa at your local Immigration Office inside Thailand.

Option 6 is applied for with support of BOI Thailand

Option 7 is applied for at your local Immigration Office AFTER you used a Non-Immigrant visa.

Other options are applied for at a Thai Consulate OR for those countries who are legit, on-line.

Thanks for reading this long explanation.

The usual every answer is different, you can't all be right - if you don't know stop spreading fake news ... .

I was told starting at baht

Bt1900 for yourself plus about Bt3900 for a multiple entry if required.

Everything else is illegal.

Honestly, we did my non-o visa in the USA prior to departure… no agent and have found minor challenges but we were able to get it done without + bhat for an agent … you still have to do all the leg work yourself to get all your paperwork together then give it to an agent to process and you can do it yourself there is plenty of help right here on this site to answer questions… that is my opinion! I almost hired an agent but then realized the things I needed help with I had to supply myself 🤷‍♂️

for visa and bank account opening

Any over 20,000 is way to much for Non O, if you have your own money do it your self & opening a bank account is much easier now, but just don't go with Bangkok bank

Book online. .. makes it quick

Get your multi entry at airport is easy

Onestop

@One *****************************************

Non-O based on retirement used to be 12,500, and they will fund the money. I used to get those, but now I got myself a DTV.

Not sure but definitely use Thai visa center in Bangkok. Message them.

b roughly

Contact Thai Visa centre. They will give you a figure.

Depends if you want a single entry non o .

Or a multiple entry non o .

But it’s over 28,000

If you have a Thai bank account and have the 800K in it

9K For a renewal

No 800K and a renewal but have bank acc

16K

Full Non-O incl bank

Done within Thailand

45K upwards

To be Honest it is really easy to do it yourself, I’m not smart lol and I was able to do it and I now have my retirement visa

I payed $1500 for a retirement visa, Annie’s Visa in Hua Hin

I use Thai visa center for seven years now , dependable good service

If you already have a bank account, make sure you have eight hundred thousand mature for 3 months.And do it yourself easy 3000bht for everything non o plus retirement permit

30 first then 15

15 to 25 depends what is in. Anyhow the once that is lower than 20 often have Xtra charges so in the end of the day around 20 K. Is normal.

mate paid 70.000 his first with Bank account multiple entry

had to go from Pattaya to BKK imagination

First one is usually a little expensive. Around about 37,000 upwards.

The renewal, next 12 months after first extension is almost finished, is usually cheaper, somewhere between 14,000 and 25,000. Those are the figures I have seen

with Thai visa centre. Top notch hassle free service

im getting the girl at my front desk of the condo to do it all for 10,000baht she registered my car did my insurance you befriend a smart girl buy her a coffee each day and they will help you

Retirement or Marriage? If the latter... You probably have to exit to get the 90 day at a foreign embassy before you can go through the entire process

- . They probably lower the price once you use them for the extensions

They asked me for 40,000 baht to open a bank account and immigration documents. I did it all by myself, it's very simple.

25,000 ball park

If you meet the financial requirements the Non-O based on retirement is one of the simplest visas to obtain. A little research and it’s easily done by yourself.

Siam Legal.com 999 USD

I paid 19K

baht upwards to sort out Non O plus 1 year extension giving you 15 months.

Non-O based on what?

Where in Thailand?

Are you already in Thailand?

If not, will you arrive with a non-O visa or not?

Do you already have a Thai bank account?

How about including the bare minimum of information to even start to answer your question?
