What do I need to know about applying for a retirement visa in Thailand with a Non-O visa?

Best is to transfer >1 000 000 ,that way you can use some money from yr thai bank account if needed during the 3 months after you get retirement visa 👍

I had everything done through Anna’s Visa in Hua Hin, they take you to immigration as well as take you to KBank and setup your bank account, easy process.

Great post and thread

Hurry! After arrival only 1 months to put the 800k into the account.

@Polat ******

can i know which branch you went to? I have been tying for 3 months and keep being told no and i have the same info you have. so far only if i paid visa agent am i getting told yes.

may I know what letter from the immigrant did you get and was it required for the bank account?

1) No

2) The money must be in your account for 2 full months at the time you apply for the extension. So if the money arrived in your bank account on June 15th, you cannot apply for the extension until August 15th.

3) For a retirement extension, the 800,000 must remain in the account for 3 months after the date of the extension, and then can never drop below 400,000. The bank balance must be back at 800,000 for a full 2 months by the time you apply for the following extension the 2nd year.
