I need to get a retirement VISA. I just moved to the Issan area and I don't know where to go or what to do. Can I get directions?

Planning to retire next year. My plans are to live in Thailand but travel 3 or 4 times a year struggling to decide on most suitable visa. I would love your suggestions to help me decide.

Hi

For Thai retirement visa do you need both a Thai bank account showing deposit amount of a minimum of THB 800,000 And a

Monthly income of at least THB 65,000 or do you only need to meet 1 of these requirements? I've read conflicting guidelines online.

Thanks

Did anyone open a bank account with kasikorn on dtv? Any special requirements?

Hi all,

This group is very helpful!

Maybe some of you can help my last doubts. I have all required documents.

Been working here under a non visa b and work permit since May 2023. Now since almost 2 months on tourist visa after I resigned.

I work remote for a company in the US and want to fly to HCM upcoming week to try to get the DTV.

1 Would it be an issue showing the 500.000 on my Thai bank? Or should I transfer to a foreigner account? Or a platform like wise? Both would be with a low to none activity history compared to My Thai bank which is a lot healthier.

2 do you see any issues with the fact I’m already in thailand for 1.5 year with a work permit

Thank you in advance

Since yesterday, Jakarta has become eligible for e-visas. I have a question regarding dependent applications: previously, when it was possible to apply in person, two separate bank accounts (for me and my dependent) with 500k each were not required. What is the situation now with e-visas?

I’m curious. If you apply for a “ retirement O visa over 50” in Thailand you get a 90 day “visa”? That you then apply for a 1year extension, yes? But do you have to have the 800k in a Thai bank for the beginning 90 day “visa” or only for the 1year extension?

So, the retirement visa requires two months of having 800k in the bank before switching to monthly income, instead,

How about the marriage visa? Does it also mandate two prior months of money in the bank, or can one start out with monthly income?

Also, does the address you use with your Thai bank need to match the address of your non-O visa?

Thanks in advance for your replies!

Quick question, and please forgive me if this has been asked and answered already, but I didn't find much (or rather too much to sift through) on this websites search function.

Is it easier to apply for and receive a retirement visa in your home country or after arriving in Thailand ? I'm about a two hour drive from the Thai embassy in Los Angeles.

Thanks for your input.

Hi :) can 500k bahts be in some different bank acounts? my wife has 3 different bank accounts in different banks, and some money in each acc :) it fits?
