What is the difference between these two requirements?

Foreign Insurance Certificate as stipulated by the Office of Insurance Commission and Health Insurance of Thailand, which must be completed, signed and stamped by the insurance company.

Health Insurance issued by a Thai or foreign insurer for general illnesses, including COVID-19, with the insured sum of no less than 100,000 USD or 3,000,000 THB

Couple visa requirements

We make approx 2700 usd combined after medicare deductions (3100 before) and would be able to do the 25000 deposit.

Does this sound like sufficient funds to qualify for a long term visa?

There's possibility of approx another 600/month on top of this

Appreciate your help

Hi new here wondering what I need to do to legally retire here?

Relative to the many posts about opening a bank account, the rules have indeed changed and tightened up. I have been a resident of Thailand on a Non-OA visa for ten years, and have two Bangkok Bank accounts- my original one in Bangkok, and the second of which I opened 3 years ago in Jomtien Pattaya. I was only asked for my passport and visa for that one, but today I tried to open a new one in Sa Kaeo to use for my visa renewal in the Immigration Office in Aranyaprathep in August. They informed me that they now require a letter from Immigration, which if I understood correctly is a Certificate of Residence. I plan to do that next week. Any tips on what will be required?

Quick question about potential problems w/criminal background checks, and getting approved for a Thai Retirement Visa. Here’s the situation: this person (let’s call him Joe) had a Federal, not US state, drug felony conviction about 40 years ago. The offense was a non-violent one, he served his time, and has had a spotless record since. Joe’s been very successful at business and would love to retire to Thailand. (He'd have no problem paying for an Elite visa if needed)

And no, his record cannot be expunged or pardoned. Its permanent.

Is there anyone here with either 1) direct experience in this matter or 2) is a real Visa professional? Traveling there on a regular tourist visa does not appear to be a problem but its hard to get answers on residency.

Do trailing spouse Visas still exist?

Non OA and re-entry vs 90days report

#1 Exiting once on Non OA for an extended period of time with re entry permit and returning 15 days or so before expiration - in time To apply for the one yr extension - what are the requirements regarding 90days report?

#2 Upon return I only have 1 full day available for the processing the extension of stay before re- exiting again for a week this time

Is one day at CW sufficient ?

Hi All.

I am going to apply for retirement visa in June. I have a Permanent address and yellow book. I also have a ID card(Pink) for people of non Thai nationality. I also have the 800k and Thai bank account. I'm from Ireland .

My question is

1) Do I apply for retirement visa before I go to Thailand .

2) Can I get multi entry retirement visa.

3) As I won't be in Thailand for the majority of the first year. Is there a minimum amount of days I must stay in Thailand.

4) Do I need a agent or can I apply myself.

Is it straight forward.

Please help
