Hi everyone, I’m planning to retire to Thailand hopefully within the next few months. I have one question and that is once in Thailand I’m going to be living with my girlfriend in her house, would that be an issue regarding my first yearly extension.

Do I need to rent a house or a condo and show immigration the rental contract or living with my long time girlfriend in her house would that require showing any kind of documentation.

I think in advance for all your advice. 🙏

I arrived in Hua Hin on the 10th of October and went to Immigration at Bluport to transfer my retirement Visa stamps from my old passport to my recently renewed passport. At the desk I was told to go to the main immigration office just outside of town.

I asked her how long did I have before that had to be done, but unfortunately, I didn’t get a clear answer.

It would be helpful if somebody could give me an answer

I am a filipina and my husband an american. What are the requirements for a spousal visa?

Any1 know the current Retir. O/A health insurance coverages needed?

OK, I would welcome all thehelp/advise I can get. Here is where I am currently at. I have retired, I'm 64. I am at that miserable stage where I am trying to liquidate all my belongings. I'm also getting my financial situation ready too. I'm not concerned with the financial obligations required. I have no problem putting 800,000 baht into an account,and my monthly social security deposit is more than the 65,000 baht required. so, what retirement visa should I apply for? FYI, I'm from the USA. I currently do not have health insureance, so I am looking for a visa that doesn't require it. Also, how far back does the background check go? I'm good for 20 years. Please help me get this going. In addition, how far ahead do I apply meaning how long does it normally take to get approved? Lastly, after getting approved, how long do I have to go before it expires?

Thanks BV

I have just got a retirement visa until December 2026. I am just wondering how that affects my travel insurance, I currently have a yearly worldwide travel insurance bought travelling from uk . I just wondered if anyone had any issues continuing to use this type of insurance after getting a retirement visa. I suppose the insurance could say I am not travelling if I have visa, or do you think they known the complexities of travel in Thailand. I don’t stay any more than 6 months and I do go to other countries . I am going to get a psa test , not through insurance but the hospital needs to see my passport so it made me think if I ever had a medical emergency then would the hospital declare to the insurance company I am a retirement visa holder.

I know I will obviously have to check with insurers but just wondered if anyone had come across this , or am I overthinking it?

The other question is do Thai government inform your own country that you have been granted a retirement visa ? I’m just thinking the tax implications etc.

I know it’s probably questions I should have asked before getting visa lol before all the smart Alex and Annie’s start to roast me .

Thanks in advance for replies

Hi hopefully quick question i read a lot about people's visa under consideration is this just for marriage visa or retirement also.

I qualify for both and was on retirement visa for 12 years before we moved back to the UK. We are moving back next year is the marriage visa still a pain ? Or would it be just as easy to get retirement again, will have fund either way.

But this under consideration is baffling me. Because we are selling everything in the UK and last thing I want is any problems.

Thanks in advance

Hi arrived on non o visa when I apply for 12 months extension is it approved from day I arrived Thailand or day I apply tia

Can someone who arrives on a visa waiver, apply for the initial 90 day Non-O visa without a Thai bank account l, and then once received, open an account and season the 800,000 bht during the 90 days before applying for one year extension?
