Hello! Is there somewhere I can begin or a document I can read with beginner knowledge? I am thinking of relocating to Thailand in the upcoming year but have no idea where to begin especially regarding the Visa process

ReEntering Thailand with a single entry permit on a retirement visa does anyone know what stamps get put in your passport

I know the Re-Entry will get stamped USED but what about the remaining length of my stay what stamp do they use for that

Hey everyone. I'm doing my retirement visa renewal this Tuesday at the Jontiem office. I have all the documents but here is the question. My leasing agent gave me a copy of the owners passport for the condo. Now should there be lines on it and his signature? This copy is just the passport photo page no lines or signature. Thanks

Good morning, i have to organise my trip out of Thailand next week

At the expiry of my current visa exemption extension, it will be 3 month and a week before i reachi 50 yo.

First question that i have to find an answer to is how many days left on Visa exemption extension are needed after turning 50 to be able to apply for a retirement non-o.visa.

Because I have to choose between either doing 2 one day trip border bounce OR doing only one trip out but stay several days abroad.

My Immigration office is Jomtien .

Thanks

Hi all,

does anyone have experience applying for dtv or retirement visa from South Africa?

I'm based in Cape Town, no Thai embassy. Closest embassy is Pretoria.

Is physical presence at the embassy required or can everything be done online?

The financial requirement for the O-X Long Stay (retirement, 10-year) Visa is 3 million baht opened with a Thai bank in Thailand.

I cannot help wondering........

How may a foreigner open an account with a Thai bank in Thailand before receiving the O-X Long Stay Visa ?? 🤔

( other than Australian citizens, how may a foreigner open an account with a Thai bank in Thailand before receiving the O-X Long Stay Visa ?? 🤔 )

Thank you ! 🫡🙏

How long is visa exemption now? I am an American citizen.

Thanks

I'm still confused. I am trying to go the OA route and one must apply outside Thailand (TL).

I won't have the 800k thb (no comments please) but I earn 100k thb each month social security and have for 1.5 years. Soon to start collecting on a pension, LTR eventually). The US LA Consulate page has three options for income verification for the OA:

1. 800 thb in bank last 3 months;

1. income certificate for 65k thb (US embassy does not do this)

2. "or a deposit account plus a monthly income totaling not less than 800k thb (in one year). In the case of submitting a bank statement, a letter of guarantee from bank (an original copy) is required."

It goes on to say "Recent bank statement showing the applicant's name and ending balance of no less that $30,000 or proof of monthly income of not less that $2500/month along with the current bank statement showing incoming income."

Question: If Im outside, how would this have to be in a Thai bank? Can't set one up without a long-term visa.

I would like to retire in Bangkok mid to late October. I am 65 from US . I have the baht and pension. Is there anyway possible to get some kind of retirement visa without insurance???
