Hello everybody, I am interested in the retirement O visa.
I understand the basic requirements.
What I’m not clear on is how much I needed to deposit in baht if my VA disability is only $1214 a month
Do I need to make up the difference in cash deposit for one month, or 12 months?
put another way I need 65,000 baht equivalent government money or equivalent per month. I’m several hundred dollars short of that.
How much would I need to deposit in order to satisfy the O visa requirement?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses the financial requirements for obtaining a retirement O visa in Thailand, particularly for individuals whose monthly income from sources like VA disability falls short of the necessary amount. It highlights that for the first year, the individual must deposit 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account, as they cannot use the combination of monthly income and banked funds until after their first extension. After securing the initial visa, it becomes possible to use the combination method for future extensions.
