Does the money required for a thai retirement visa have to be in a thai account or is uk bank ok?

Hello, I am planning to come to Thailand around November 10 as a retiree and settle in Hua Hin region. What is the deadline to get the 90 days visa if you apply online?  Otherwise is it possible to take a tourist visa 60 days and once on the spot apply for long Stay retirement visa on the spot at the immigration office? Thanks for your good advice.

Bonjour, je prévois de venir en Thaïlande vers le 10 novembre en tant que retraité et pour m’installer dans la région de Hua Hin. Quel est le délai pour obtenir le visa de 90 jours si on fait la demande en ligne ?  Sinon est-ce qu’il est possible de prendre un visa touriste 60 jours et une fois sur place faire la demande de visa long Stay pour la retraite sur place au bureau de l’immigration ? Merci pour vos bons conseils.

After more than two months of being completely screwed around by “that bank” they now tell me they cannot unfreeze my account and need to give me my money back. I have just renewed my 12 month extension of stay (retirement) and have supplied them the relevant documents including a certificate of residency.

My question is how can I go about changing banks without “breaking” my retirement extension. I don’t have enough money just to deposit another 800k in another new bank while waiting to get my money from the original bank.

Asking for a family member. A 74 year old Swiss citizen wants to retire in Thailand. Regarding health insurance, is it mandatory under Thai law (like in Switzerland) or not? Given her age, can she have health insurance at all? Also, which visa is best in her case? Thanks

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice regarding my Thai retirement visa.

My current retirement visa is valid until June 2026 but it’s a single entry. I had to leave Thailand in August to return to the UK due to a family emergency, but I’ll be arriving back in Thailand next week.

Is it at all possible to change this to a multiple entry visa, and if so, what steps would I need to take?

Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello. Are there anyone who recently renewed their thai retirement visa?

My mom’s 15-month retirement visa will expire soon and she wants to renew for another one year. What are the recently updated required documents? She’ll have to renew it in Bangkok Chaeng Wattana Immigration..

We already have all other documents (financial proof and the rental contract, etc) that meets the requirements, except for the health insurance.. Is health insurance certificate required for visa renewal?

And also, what’s the visa renewal fee and the multiple re entry fee?

Thank you in advance.

Hello everyone.

Just had a quick look at the Thai embassy site at work as I'm looking to move out there end of year.Under Retirement visas, I couldn't see the non-O as an option, just the O-A ..have they scrapped the non -O ? TIA !

Hello all, next month I will be renewing my Thai retirement visa (non-imm type O) for the 3rd time. Regarding the Thai Immigration Dept requirement for proof of 800k baht, previously I had my bank (Bangkok Bank) print a copy of my passbook, stamp and then sign the documents the morning of, so that I could then submit along with my other documents. Well, Bangkok Bank recently informed me they no longer sign and stamp such documents. I asked them to do anyway, willing to pay. Nope! They informed me there is some new understanding between the Immigration Department and themselves that such authentication is no longer necessary. I’m a bit skeptical and would appreciate any feedback on this matter. Thank you.

Excuse me, would it be acceptable to demonstrate that I transfer 65,000 baht monthly to my wife's account, or is it necessary for me to possess my own account for a retirement visa?
