Hi im in the process of doing my retirement visa whilst in uk.

I've been asked to upload my bank statements.but no screen shots. Anyone else done this. Did you add the health stuff also

I entered Thailand on an O Retirement Visa and now need to extend it. For the visa itself, I did not need to provide proof of health insurance, but I’ve read that such proof is required for the extension. If this ist right, does anyone have experience with the combination of German Beihilfe and private insurance, and how this can be documented in a way that is accepted by the immigration office? Could somebody give me advice?

Thank You!

I would like to ask for some insight from those who have recently renewed a retirement visa… I applied from within Thailand and received my one-year extension back in December. At that time, because I applied from within the country, I did not have to submit health insurance documentation. I have read some updates lately that sound like now all initial and renewal applications will require proof of min 3M THB in health insurance coverage in order to be approved… I have done all of my applications on my own and would like to know from others recent experience, will I need to prepare health insurance documents for my next renewal? Thank you in advance.

Hi, a question for Aussies. Has anyone applied for the 90 day non immigrant visa in Australia. I wanted to know if you had to have health insurance when applying?

Thanks

Looking at the OA visa,applying from the UK. I have a question about the 'certificate of criminal record clearance '. I can get a DBS check that costs £21.50, or an ACRO certificate which costs £68. Is the DBS sufficient or do I need to go all in with the ACRO?

Thanks.

Trying to get my mum an O-A visa to live with us in her retirement. Health insurance is a requirement, however she is 81 and so far none of the health insurance companies in the official visa guide's recommended list will insure anyone over 75. Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Hi everyone

I have a non O-A retirement visa I applied on line in Thai embassy in Spain

Valid til 31st October 2025. Multiple entries My questions are:

1. If I arrive back from Europe, let’s say, October the 5th 2025 , how may days will I get if the visa expires the 25th same month ? 90 days ? Or….

2. After that , could apply for new one ,being in Thailand without bringing money to my Thai account? Price approx ?

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?

If I arrive with a Non o (retirement) visa and do my 1 yr extension in Jomtien, will there be a health insurance requirement? Tia

I goofed earlier.

I need to apply retirement visa. I would be using the income method (I hope), I have the several months of deposits. I own my own condo, and I am a pretty nice guy.

If I get the bank statement tomorrow evening and showed up at the immigration office the following morning.

Would they give me a new 90 day visa? And within that time I have to apply for the extension?

It happens to be my current stamp expires Wednesday. I can get the extension but maybe that doesn't make sense.

Also, what are the health care requirements.

EDIT:

Anybody know a good agent in the Pattaya area?
