Has anyone here applied successfully for a retirement visa in thailand with a french passport?
My parents are eager to spend at least a year in thailand. Looking for the best visa option. They ar currently in France and have been visiting thailand every year for the last 5.
TLDR : Answer Summary
For anyone seeking to apply for a retirement visa in Thailand with a French passport, the best approach is to secure a Non Immigrant O-A visa prior to arrival, which allows stays of up to 1 year with multiple entries. Additionally, they should first obtain a 90-day Non-Immigrant O visa based on age (over 50) and financial requirements, which can then be extended annually. Costs include 2000 baht for the initial Non-O visa, 1900 baht for each yearly extension, and re-entry permits if necessary.
