Hi everyone Cheapest yearly retirement visa

Pls

Ok, I'm pretty sure thus is what we need to do. We are slowly getting things ready to retire in Thailand. I know we each need our own bank account with 800000tbh each. But I would think we would want a joint account in Thailand to use. So would you recommend us having our own accounts to satisfy the visa needs and keep them over 800000k or just have 3 accounts? Especially knowing it's getting a little harder to open bank accounts

A friend from the USA is planning his retirement in Thailand. His plan is to enter the Kingdom and then apply for a Retirement visa type O. He asked me if he gets a 30 day visa on arrival or is it 60 days on arrival. I wasn't sure. Does anyone here know which on he would get?

For retirement visa can you just show that you receive at least the minimum amount of income each month instead of having 800,000 in the bank?

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.

is it correct that the thai retirement visa request the bank deposit of 800k - 3 - month be4 application and 3 month after and if use after maximum 400 k can be reducted and again filled up 6 month later?

I have retirement visa until September how early do I need to renew for another 12 months

Hi everyone! My wife’s retirement visa is due for renewal in May but just realist she didn’t maintain her 800k in the first 3 months. She topped it up to 800k in the past 4 months. If she go renew herself, would it be a problem or we need to pay a fine or tea money (what is a good amount). Is it a serious offense as it would be considered overstay? Also would like to consider canceling it and attach it to my visa to make it easier to renew together as a couple. Would appreciate if anyone can suggest any ideas.

I have a retirement visa. Had the 800,000 baht in my Thai bank. Building a home and it has gone below 400,000 baht.

My renewal is due in March 2026.

I have today transferred 400,000 baht to top up my Thai account.

Will there be any repercussions for letting it go below 400,000 baht?

I have searched and am unable to find any reference to maintaining a bank balance of 400,000 baht.

Thanks.
