Why so many questions about money on your account?

If not have enough money why stay here. Of course they want to know if you can support yourself in the future. Same in my homecountry. They don’t want to pay for hospital bills for emergency cost (just to make you stay alive) and don’t get paid for it.

You need at least 1,5 million Baht saved to have a decent life regardless what hospital insurance you have.

If not, life can be not as good as you think here in Thailand.

Maybe i am wrong, but I see “Farang” come here without savings and life can get really bad if you get sick or meet the wrong lady

For the LTR wealthy pensioner. What do you need to prove the monthly passive income requirement? Retirement pay stubs? Or some other proof like bank account or other paperwork.

Does this money have to be transferred into Thailand somehow or can it just stay as passive income in my own US account?

Does the passive retirement income have to be earned and documented for a whole year before application?

Where do I look for health Insurance in Thailand for LTR compliance.

Anyone with experience or trouble getting the wealthy pension LTR, have any advice on pitfalls or helpful suggestions? Open to using a visa service, any suggestions? Is it Better to apply in or out of Thailand?

Thank you all. Sorry for long post.

Hello,

We would love to move to Thailand for 8-12 months with our 2 kids ( 7&10) I have a remote job, however we do not have savings for a DVT visa. Is there any other way to stay in Thailand for that long? Is it easy to extend a 60 days visa. We are from the UK and the cost of living is really getting to us as a family. We would love to give our boys some freedom and explore Asia. Thanks for all your help and advice!

Hello

Any recommendations for health insurance cover in Thailand for family? 2A 2K

The highest out of pocket cost, after accommodation, appears to be health insurance.

For an initial 90 day non-o, converted into a 1 year retirement stay year by year, what are the requirements for insurance?

I have seen numbers near $usd400 per month!

(For a 65+ retiree)

Thank you

Thank you for the polite detailed advice on timing of non-o visa.

I learn that once granted, have 90 days to arrive, when visa converted into a 90 day stay permit.

Then in that 90 day stay must open bank account, and transfer 800k baht. And then apply for 1 year extension?

Next questions:

1. When is best time in this time sequence to lease apartment?, and can do 12 month lease or only 90 days? And get ??30 form?

2 when is health insurance required?, and recommended insurance?

3. Does riding scooter require international license or must get local license?

4.what is usually utility cost per month (electricity, water?)

Thank you

Looking for firsthand experience only, please.

I'm on a Non OA visa with a permission to stay expiring in June 2026. I'm considering the departure and re-entry method to extend my stay, arriving back into Thailand with a renewed health insurance policy valid through June 2027.

Has anyone personally done this through Chiang Mai Airport or Suvarnabhumi and been granted a new permission to stay matching the insurance expiry date? If so, which airport and how recently?

Not looking for general opinions on whether it should work, only interested in hearing from people who have actually done it. Thanks.
