I am in the process of doing the Thai non-immigrant retirement visa O. The guides that I have read (Siam Legal, Thai Embassy- Los Angeles) says that you can EITHER have a deposit of 800,000 baht for two months in a thai bank or show proof of 65,000 pension income. If I choose the latter, will they accept twelve months of deposit records of my social security to my US bank account (or will they accept a social security benefit statement) as proof of the income? Or, do I have to have the 65,000 baht deposited monthly to a thai bank and can only use the 65,000 baht requirement once I have been in the country and made twelve monthly deposits to a Thai bank? In other words, do I have to maintain 800,000 baht in a thai bank account for the first year then I can switch to the 65,000 baht income scheme?

My thanks for any serious responses to my question.

Hi guys

Got a question.

I got medical procedure planned for this year, and since that will put me out of business for at least 3 to four months, I will do it in Thailand, so I can get nurtured back to health by my wife .

No I'm thinking about flying to Laos first

Get a two months visa at immigration there, and after surgery, go to immigration in my town to get extension (with a letter from my doctor )

Or

Go straight to Thailand

Get visa exempt, and than go immigration, with a letter from the doctor.

What is the best option.

Going to the embassy in my home country is kinda complicated, since I work offshore, and need to have my passport with me at all times.

What you think

Any information is welcome

Hi members.....

I am travelling to Thailand on my Australian passport 60days.

Planning on getting married at registry or immigration

Few days after arrival.

I hear that after 2 months I can apply for retirement over 65 visa. Which is best E visa

To get with multiple entries.

But living full time Thailand.

How much money after marriage to Thai lady do I require for bank . And can I open Banking account.

Thanks 😊

Has anyone already extended their DTV visa by 180 days at immigration to KPG?

They rejected my DTV and gave me only half a year instead of five years - out of compassion. How often do I need to renew my visa at immigration - every 30, 60, or 90 days?

Hi. I’ve nearly been here 90’days on my DTV visa. I tried to register the 90 day report online. But the first time you need to go in person to your local immigration.

Could you tell me what I need to take with me. I’m in Phuket RAWAI also which part of the immigration do I attend. Any help would be great.

I have tennacy for 1 year

Thanks 🙏

Can someone please tell me what documents i need to renew retirement visa and do i need bank account with 300000 bht in it

Thankyou

Hello. I am interested in the Thailand retirement visa, I know the details, it just seems a bit complicated and now it is also getting quite difficult to open bank accounts. I am considering getting a Cambodia retirement visa for a year, and after I open it, I can get a bank account quite easily. I may do this and then try to get the Thailand retirement visa when things get a bit easier. I am wondering if I might have difficulty getting a Thai retirement visa if I also have a similar one in my passport from Cambodia. Might this raise eyebrows from Thai immigration staff? Anybody have any experience with this? Thanks.

Hey there! I’m applying now. Is it okay if I created my business three weeks ago?

(so I don’t have proof of paying income taxes)

Has anyone had a similar experience?

Please put my mind at ease. US passport holder, planning to fly to Thailand tomorrow, staying a couple weeks. Can I still do visa on arrival or do I need to do an application?
