Hi can anyone recommend. advice regarding retirement visa. I have 3 weeks left. Thank You. { 800000 Not available in Thailand )

If I use the agent first year for non o visa in Thailand and decide to deposit 800,000 baht following year, can I renew the visa without the agent or do I need to get a fresh non-o visa (apply outside the country).

Hi, Coming from America interested in DTV I am unmarried accompanied by partner and 12yr old child. Main question is, due to us being not married would we both have to show 500,000 baht in separate bank accounts? And would my 13 yr old need a visa as well? Also read that there is no actual income requirements to prove after recent change? Any and all help is greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Can anyone recommend a visa service that keeps up to date on Non O visa requirements. The current service I hired has completely screwed my application for the Non O immigrant visa with incorrect financial and banking information provided to me.

I've been told Thai immigration are going to at some point not accept retirement visa agents getting visa extensions with retirees who don't have 800k in their accounts?

I've been told they're going to stop this but think it's just fear mongering.

Anyone hear anything about this?

Hi, looking for advice on a possible plan I have

Myself and my wife are moving to Thailand in March for a few years, both over 50, British and no intention of working

We have the money to put the 800k each in bank accounts, I believe we need 2 separate accounts

Now when we arrive in March we will have about a week where we are setting before 2 weeks travel away for the area (long booked and can't really change)

The issue is opening bank accounts and getting the money in early enough, plan is to arrive on 90 day "Non O on basis of retirement )

As we will be hotels for the first 3 weeks this sounds a bit tight

We visit for a holiday, staying in a rented villa, in November for 15 nights

Would it be possible to get a 90 day Non O for that trip and sort our bank accounts out? we could then transfer the money with plenty of time to spare

Not sure if that would be an issue to get another 90 day non O 5 months later? Also I cant get the 800k each in you UK accounts until month end so they won;t have been there for the 3 months prior to applying in the UK, the will have been well over 65k thb a month deposited in each account for a long period though

If possible what paperwork do I need from accommodation and anything else to help with bank accounts or is it easier just to use an agent for the accounts? not sure what they currently charge for this

If we leave it all until we arrive in March I assume I can't do anything when we arrive in March and this would leave us with only 2 month to deposit and season the funs

Any advice/suggestions greatly appreciated, thanks

So i am seeing tons of people having problems with Bangkok bank for visa renewals and applications. If I were to open a, say krungthai, account. And transfer over my 400k for marriage. Then go to immigration next week. Got statements from Bangkok bank and krungthai. Does that work for my financial part. Or does it need to stay in one single account?

Hey everyone, I recently submitted my dtv and I just got approved about a week ago. Now I need to apply for my spouse. My question is, do I need to show that she has 500,000 baht in her bank account as well? If yes, can a joint account of 1m baht work?

Has anyone heard or DTV holders being interrogated upon re entry at Suvarnabhumi international airport, being asked to show 20k baht in cash, etc., or all smooth reentry stories? It will be my fourth entry on DTV and I know visa waiver folks are getting a lot of trouble with repeat entries - haven't heard stories like that of DTV holders yet, but wondering if anyone has. Thanks :)

Question for Australians who applied for 90 Day “retirement” visa in Australia.

The online application states - Retirement ( pensioner aged 50 or above with state pension who wishes to stay in Thailand for no longer than 90 Days)

I qualify as I am over 50 but I do not have access to state pension yet, however I do have the 800,000thb. Do you have to have the state pension to qualify for this visa when applying within Australia?

TIA
