What is the cheapest option for obtaining a retirement visa in Pattaya and how much does it cost?

Don't forget that you pay tax on global income( your retirement money) in Thailand from 2024 if you stay more then 180 days in the same year....

! She’s awesome.

Motts services are very good

TVS 7000 if you have bank funds or if no funds very good people

Ss I understand it an agent is best. They also do Thailand banking stuff and the 800k proof.

Think cost is about 1k Canadian. So ad someone else said is about Baht.

Insurance on your own.

TMT visa, Banzaan, Patong, 24 grand, provide a friendly service

Best bet is when you’ve saved the minimum 50k to cover some costs re appear with the same question

25-35,000

You appear to be French? If your embassy in Thailand will issue an income affidavit/certificate showing you meet the financial criteria (I believe it's based on your french tax return) you should be able to use that rather than providing the 800k baht. That means it's easy to do yourself and avoids you getting stuck paying agents every year

Do it yourself
