What are the requirements for obtaining a Type O retirement visa in Thailand with a retirement account income?

@Scott **************

yes very different

The BOI group that you submitted you application to for the LTR wealthy pensioner visa

@Derek **********

that’s USD, right?

@Derek **********

go for it - no 90 day reporting. I have it based on a different category but I am stamped in for 5 years

@Todd ********

NO: he could start sending 65,000/month Before he gets his 1st extension when he uses the 800,000 method< than after he has had 12 months of 65/month to show, use that method for his 2nd extension< NO embassy letter needed

@Hickey *************

that's what I said.

@Michael ******

immigration said they are no longer allowed to do it because they were not verifying the information they were just notarizing it. Basically saying you are actually the person who signed the document but that's it. So they're not allowed to do it along with many other embassies.

A printout will mean nothing. The ONLY way to use income is if your embassy will certify it.

As an American you can only get the initial 90 day non-O visa with money in the bank and you can only get the first 1-year extension with money in the bank. You can simultaneously start transferring 65,000 baht per month so that by the time you're ready to apply for an extension for year 2 you can show 65,000 transferred from overseas every single month for the previous 12 months and they will accept that as proof of income.

But you cannot use this for your first extension even if you started transferring the money a year ago.

The Danish Embassy of Denmark do make affidavit. But when the trouble started they changed from doing it from the tax return to now want pension letters from pension givers written in the English language and send to the embassy via the Danish E-letter system.

@Derek **********

Savanakhet Thai embassy do not require proof of funds for 90 day O visa

Then get a 12 month extension and if not sure use an agency to do the leg work for you 👍

Then put 800k in a bank account here.
