What are the requirements for the 800,000 THB deposit for a retirement visa in Thailand?
Hello,
I have one question about the retirement visa. Could you please confirm that the only rule to deposit 800.000 thb is to come from a bank account abroad? The foreign account from which the money comes must have the same name as the Thai account or, for example, the spouse can transfer money on it ? Thanks a lot.

Answer summary
The main query is about the requirement of depositing 800,000 THB for a retirement visa in Thailand, specifically whether the funds must come from a foreign bank account in the applicant's name or if a spouse can transfer funds. Responses highlight that immigration offices may have varied rules and that verifying requirements directly with local immigration is essential. Some emphasis is placed on recent tightening of rules, and it's noted that shared accounts with a spouse may only count for 50% of the total required amount.

The only rule is that the Thai account cannot be a shared account with your wife. If a shared account then only 50% of the amount on the account will count for you. In other words, you will need to double the amount on account.

There is no set rules or requirements they change depending on what IO on the day wants from you some say you need this and that but different officers want different this a that

The Thai Immigration authorities nationwide have instructions to tighten up on visa requirements due to the international coverage of the unfortunate German gentleman recently murdered in Pattaya district.
I visited my local immigration office yesterday and overheard the head immigration officer (translated by my Thai wife) there telling his officers that they had to scrutinise every application and requirements to the letter and reject anything that was not in order 😱

Check first with your immigration office. They all have different rules.

The only rule is that the rule is whatever your immigration office requires. Every immigration office can make their own rules and requirements.
