Good day all, l have taken an early retirement, 59 yo, and l am self funded. l am an Australian citizen. I was wondering what is the best retirement visa to apply for, O, O-A or O-X. l want to move to Jomtien permanently. l have sufficient funds for the 800k thb bank account and can provide a 80k thb a month income. Also, is the process of applying 100% online (SA based). Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello, anyone here explored long term visa options similar to DTV in Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines or Vietnam ? Thanks !

Is there any visa that Ethiopian passport holders can get for a 6 month or 1 year stay?

The language school I spoke with in Hua Hin said immigration excludes Ethiopian nationals from that visa.

I have been on paid administrative leave since February 1, in a DOGE deal to retire September 30 (thank you US taxpayers!) I have not worked since February but receive full pay and benefits. I will have all my O-A visa paperwork ready next week. I will arrive BKK October 25. I don't see anything that says I must already be retired. Consulate says "This type of visa may be issued to applicants aged 50 years and over who wish to stay in Thailand for a period of not exceeding 1 year without the intention of working. Holders of this type of visa are allowed to stay in Thailand for 1 year. Employment of any kind is strictly prohibited." Do they mean working in Thailand? I'd like to submit my package early September but maybe I wait till Oct 1?

Just got my LTR visa application rejected without any reason provided. Anyone successfully pivoted to DTV after LTR rejection?

I've been to Thailand several times but taking advantage of the tourist visa from 30 to 60 GG. I am retired and from January I would like to stop a bit more, say 3 or 4 months. What are the available options? I read something on the embassy's website but some things were not clear .... thank you for accepting me and thank you for any advices
