Why doesn't Thailand offer a permanent retirement visa?

Thailand prefers an endless subscription service, more profitable

Because it's a backwards toilet that never progresses

They simply don’t want you to become destitute and a ward of the State. US is now doing kinda the same thing, except there you buy a US Citizenship for a mere $5,000,000. Be happy Thailand only requires you show proof of income and have 800,000 THB in a Thai bank.

A part of what we see with Imm paper work is to help more Thais have jobs. Thailand goes out of their way to create as many jobs for their citizens as possible.

If you had done half an hour of research on the internet, you would have found the answer to this question. Thailand wants to preserve the pure Thai race. It wants to preserve the pure Thai culture.

Thai divorce death ☠️

Do some homework.

You still have a lot to learn about Thailand...🤔

Same valid reason your own shitty country doesn’t have one. Embarrassing right?

All about the $$$

Try to get a permanent residence in Europe or America 😂😂😂

How many officers snd agents should be unemployed in such Thailand?

The UK could learn a lot from Thailand

Well I guess it would govern Westerners fleeing there expensive countries to then buy up everything somewhere else , maybe ?

Because it probably would allow you to be more free and have a lot less bank and government fees, 555.

Some of negative comments here about how Thai suck your money dry etc.. It’s not like the Thailanders forcing you to come to Thailand and forcing you to go bankrupt,broke ,or got con by a ladyboy,woman or whatever. If you can’t budget yourself in Thailand ,you sure ain’t doing in your own country. Here in the U.S.,you can’t even get a travel Visa If you a normal citizen of a Thailanders. Whether the comment is sarcasm or facetious,it ain’t funny.

Thailand does have retirement visa,called LTR.

Because they look after their own,which they should get praise for!!

Most countries do - it's called citizenship. Otherwise, all but 3 countries require check ins and updates to visa's. It's to ensure their continued legal status and to verify their compliance with visa conditions, including maintaining adequate financial resources and not engaging in prohibited activities.

Bc they wanna suck all the money dry then send you home genius.

So if you run out of money they can return you to the country that owes it to you to take care of you, as it should be

LTR is close if you meet the requirements

Because they want to make sure they know where you are, and they want to make sure you have the financial means to support yourself annually, so you don't become their problem to take care of.
