TLDR : Answer Summary
A Swedish individual interested in living in Thailand with a pension should consider applying for a Non-O retirement visa, which allows for an initial 90-day stay and can be extended annually. It's recommended to check the Swedish Thai Embassy for specific requirements and apply through thaievisa.go.th. Upon arrival, opening a bank account and depositing 800,000 baht will be necessary to qualify for the visa extension.

  • Use the trusted Thailand 90 Day Reporting Serviceto get your in-person report done and mailed to you for as low as 375 THB (even if the online system doesn't work for you).

Apply for a non O retirement visa online before you fly to Thailand. This will grant you 90 days and the option to extend your stay by 12 months (every year).

You will need to open a bank account when you arrive and deposit 800,000 baht immediately to qualify the extension.

Go to the website of the Swedish Thai Embassy, and see which visa option you can fullfill the requirements of.

The apply for that visa at thaievisa.go.th

Finally go to Thailand when you have got the visa.

Er du fylt 50 år og har en inntekt tisvarende minimum 66K baht kan du enkelt oppholde deg i Thailand. Greieste er å søke på et 90 dagers Non O visum online før du reiser og deretter extension of stay ved immigrasjonen i Thailand med inntektsbekreftelse fra ambassaden i Bangkok.

Du søker online her via ambassaden i Stockholm ved å registrere en e-post og brukerkonto. Bare kom tilbake til siden om du trenger hjelp.
