Gotta question, what do you write when it asks you about employment and income when applying for a non O, I am currently in Thailand but will return to Canada next week, I will apply from Canada my Non O will be on retirement I just left my job and is retiring in Thailand I don’t have a pension yet but I will have the 800,000baht required
Answer summary
When applying for a Non-O retirement visa from Canada, it's advisable to state your current status as 'Retired' on the application form. Although you do not currently have a pension, you plan to meet the 800,000 baht financial requirement. Your comments indicate that you can report your last normal annual salary if necessary; however, the most important factor is demonstrating your ability to financially sustain yourself in Thailand. It is suggested to focus on the required amount and avoid overstating income details.
