I am going to apply for a non immigrant OA retirement visa in Thailand. Doing research it say you need to deposit 800k baht or show passive income of 65k baht a month? It that right? Is it one or the other? How difficult is it to apply yourself in person at the immigration without an agent? Would I need to deposit money before applying? Which from what I am reading hard to open a bank account without proof of residency. Any advise what steps to take in chronological order for a smooth process would be greatly appreciated. If you are required to deposit 800k in bank, can that money be used to pay rent or medical? Does the 90 day reporting ask questions in regard to money left in the Thai bank?

$800k Baht question: Do I have to have the 800,000baht in the bank two months before the extension date on a non-o retirement visa? What happens if I only have it there for one month?!

Let's say my 12 month extension falls on May 15th. And I top up my bank account to 800,000Bhat on May 1st?

Hi everyone I'm wondering I have my Non-O immigrant retirement visa with a multiple re entry visa. my question is when I re entry Thailand and as I'm going to be living at a new apartment/address so my 90day reporting starts from the time I re entry but do I have to go to immigration and inform them of my new address???? Your advice will be very appreciated thank you Regards Montana

Hello, what is maximum period of time allowed out of Thailand on a single exit re-entry visa travelling by air on a non 0 retirement visa please.

I am here on a 1 year OA Retirement Visa granted in the UK last year, with the required £20,000 funds in a UK Bank account and 4M Baht insurance cover, in addition to which I have pension income of £22,000pa gross before tax.

I wish to apply for a 1 year extension in September when my visa runs out. Reading the guidelines however it states the bank deposits must be located in Thailand to get the extension.

Have I understood this correctly?

Anyone here extended their OA Retirement Visa and did you have to move money to a Thai bank accounts to comply?
