What are the financial requirements for a Retirement Visa in Thailand, and does property ownership affect these requirements?

Shutting this down because of hijacking. Make your own post people. Thank you

I've thoroughly read about the 65,000 baht income requirement. I have not read anywhere that it must be deposited in a thai bank. Does anyone see that in writing? Where?

Dont forget the covid insurance

Immigration doesn’t care if you own property.

>I have been looking into Retirement Visa, are the financial requirements 800k each in Thailand bank account

Excluding the certificate of entry, There are two things you need to acquire to enter and stay in Thailand:

1. A visa

2. An extension of stay

Visas:

Visas are what is used to enter Thailand. There are three potential visas that can be acquired to enter Thailand for retirement purposes:

Single Entry Non-O visa. This allows a person to stay for 90 days, and is used once. There MAY NOT be any financial requirements or health insurance requirements (note the "MAY NOT". Ask your local embassy).

Multiple Entry Non-OA visa. This allows a person to stay in Thailand for one year, is multiple entry, and allows a person to stay one year on each entry. The financial requirements are 800K THB in a local bank account in local currency, and health insurance is required.

Multiple Entry Non-OX visa. This allows a person to stay in Thailand for 10 years, and is a multiple entry visa. The financial requirements are 3M THB in a foreign bank account. Ask your consulate for more details.

You can also enter Thailand on a tourist visa or visa exempt, transfer or show that you have 800K THB in a Thai bank account from overseas, and then purchase a "zero entry" Non-O visa based on being over 50, and then get a one year extension of stay.

Extension of stays:

This allows you to stay in Thailand longer then your admitted to stamp. For people who are over 50, this is known as an extension of stay based on being over 50/ "retirement". You will need 800K THB in a Thai bank account, seasoned for TWO MONTHS before and THREE MONTHS after applying for the extension of stay, and the balance can never drop below 400K THB. If you entered on a Non-OA or Non-OX visa, you will also need health insurance as well.

OR...

EITHER:

1. Proof of income of 65K THB a month coming from over seas or;

2. A letter from the embassy saying you make 65K THB a month.

ANOTHER OPTION (If you and the partner are legally married).

1. One person gets a Non-O visa based on retirement, using whatever method they qualify for.

2. The other person get a Non-O visa based on being a trailing spouse

It makes absolutely no difference if you have a Villa and this was asked a long time ago. It should but they are not their rules no the monies need to be in the account under your own name

You should be able use the monthly income method of 65,000 baht per month.

No…you need the 800 k in your account for 2 month before you can apply for…

Owning a villa/ property in Thailand does not influence getting a visa or an extension of stay.
