What is the best visa for retirees over 60 in Thailand besides the DTV visa?

Question

My wife and I are both over 60 years old and I’m retired under my pension. What is the best visa to have other than the DTV visa and what are the requirements? ￼

Ask Thailand · Answer

The best visa options for retirees in Thailand, aside from the DTV visa, are primarily the Retirement (NON-O) visa and possibly the Wealthy Pensioner visa for those with adequate funds. The Retirement visa requires proof of 800,000 THB in a Thai bank account or a monthly income of 65,000 THB. The DTV visa has its advantages but is generally not recommended for long-term stays. Expats should consider their personal circumstances and preferences when choosing a visa.

Retirement visa is a much better option and the 800k requirement is settled for a fee if done via an agency😃

In dtv you can't open thai account and for you Best option is retirement non o visa

Chris ********** · Answer

I have the DTV, and I think for your situation if you have the 800000 baht savings go for the retirement visa if you plan on living here long term.

Andrew ********* · Answer

Your choice is Dtv or retirement.

Retirement requires ฿800k in a Thai bank earning no interest every year but is not likely ever to be cancelled.

Dtv currently requires to just show 500k in a home bank (where it can earn interest) upon application and currently never again. You can work legally online.

There is a possibility that the program will be scrapped or requirements greatly increased after the election and you need to border bounce every 6 months.

100% LTR if you qualify

Greg ******** · Answer

Yearly Retirement O visa in country. Qualification is 800k in Thai bank or 65k a month income is the most popular. If you are wealthy the Wealthy Pensioner LTR is another option. That is for 10 years

Robert ******* · Answer

The best visa is the one that suits your wishes.

Do you want to keep on working, even on-line

Do you want to live in Thailand

Do you want to travel regular to Thailand

Do you have problems to make deposits into a Thai bank account

Does your Embassy provide an Affidavit of Income.

What is the Nationality from both of you?

Nattha ***** · Answer

You both can apply for retirement visa. This is the best option. DTV is not at all a good option as per my opinion. If you would like to discuss, please send me a message via messenger.

Brandon ************ · Answer

Review the Thai embassy website of your country. They will list the available visas and what the qualifications are for that embassy. Most likely you're looking for a non-O visa based on retirement.
