What are the visa options for retired German expats living in the Netherlands traveling to Thailand for 71 days?

yep. work with the system not against it and you can stay many months .60 free on entry and extend 30 .and if u want stay longer u can leave thailand and re- enter and do same again

I am staying 90 days without a visa. came from vienna and had an buyonwardticket booked just in case. (was not needed neither for check in [EVA] nor Immi. Get a 30-day extension before your 60 days end or leave the country and come back with another 60 days visa excempt.

I recommend to apply for a Non O Retirement visa in Thailand. You can get an affidavit about your income at the German Embassy or at a German Consulate, for example Consul Rudolf Hofer in Pattaya.

If “only” going for 71 days, then consider visa excempt 60 days (free) + 30 days extension (1900 baht). ( you may need a cheap onwardticket within the first 60 days.

Then no need to apply at the embassy.

No, you’ll both have to qualify individually, but as Karsten suggests you’ll both get a 60 days visa exemption upon arrival which can be extended with additional 30 days at your local immigration in Thailand. Be aware of that it’s a formal requirement to show proof of an onward ticket within 60 days if your airline asks for it during check in. Can be a cheap ticket to anywhere out of Thailand.

(There are some regulations regarding a one year Non O-A visa that gives one person possibility to piggyback the other as a trailing spouse, but as I understand this is rarely issued and you’ll need to check this up further with your embassy/consulate).

Hi, ihr bekommt bei der Einreise 60 Tage, dann könnt ihr 30 Tage für 1900thb bei der Immigration verlängern.
