What are the requirements for the 10-year retirement visa in Thailand?
[[members only]/)
Anyone know about this 10 year retirement visa, this is from an article from 2017. Never heard of this one.
Last two paragraphs of the article:
"Meanwhile, the Immigration Bureau announced last week that citizens of 14 countries would now be able to apply for retirement visas of up to 10 years. However, applicants must have $90,000 in a bank for a minimum of three months prior to applying for the 10-year visa, and have valid health insurance.
The countries whose citizens are eligible for the longer retirement visas are: Australia, Canada, Denmark,Germany, Finland, France, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States."
