For Aussies, coming next money. Q- If I get an O retirement Visa in Aus before I come. I don't need health insurance, 30 day extensions, do visa runs or anything like that, yes/ no. If so, anyone remember how much they paid for the visa please.

I am planning to apply a non o retirement visa from my home country. After staying 3 months in Thailand when i apply for extension do i need to have that 800 000b in thai account?

Good Day,

I have a retirememt visa and did not renew - could not travel back to Thailand for renewal - Done 2 renewals and missed the 3rd renewal date Nov 2024

Do I restart the process?

Hi - I am on my first year extension of stay after having a type O retirement visa. I maintained the 800k balance for 2 months prior to and 3 months after the extension was granted. And after that it can drop no lower than 400k and I have kept it well above that.

My question:

Prior to applying for the next (second) year extension, I understand the balance needs to be 800K again -

for at least 2 months prior to application for renewal?

Or is it 3 months?

Reading the sheet from the immigration office looks like 2 months, while I see 3 months stated on other web sites. There is one site that says "keep in mind the next extension requires 3 months prior, unlike the first one", while the immigration office printout only describes '2 months prior and 3 months after'

Hi I have a non o visa for 90 days, based on retirement. I am going to do an extension soon. I have transferred the 800000 BAHT,from the UK, two months ago. I tried to get a Credit advice statement from Kasikorn bank. They gave me one but some of the transfers I did with Remitly were not included. Anyone any ideas what I can do. Is it possible to take transfer receipts from the UK to prove they are foreign payments

Hi Guys new here so be gentle, I am planning to retire to Thailand in a year or two I have a conviction for drink driving will this hinder my attempt to obtain a retirement visa. I'm 62 and married to a Thai girl for 26 years and have 2 grown up children. All other requirements are fine.

Hi Guys, my wife & I are moving to Thailand in August, and have a list of questions that we can't seem to get a proper response on. None of the Thai Consulates here in Australia seem to be taking calls at the moment and we have no local one' that we can visit. We have also sent emails to the consulates but not receiving a response so thought that I would try here as we really need the information to be able to proceed further. We will be applying for the 90 day Non Immigrant Retirement Visa from OZ, then doing the 1 year extension from Thailand, so our questions relate specifically to this visa only.

We would appreciate the correct advice relating to this and are gratefull for your advice.

Non- immigrant O VISA – Retirement - 90 days (First 90 days)

To meet the financial requirements can the 3 months deposit into an Australian bank account of a total of 65,000 BHT (per person per month) be from other sources not from a State Pension?

Can the money be in a joint bank account (husband and wife)? Are the financial requirements for both applications taken from this same account?

If the 65000 BHT deposits per month per person is acceptable – can you spend the deposited money, or does it have to stay in the account for 3 months and not be touched?

Can a superannuation statement be used as proof of having adequate funds instead of a bank statement?

Non- Immigrant O Visa – Retirement – 1 year Extension (when in Thailand)

Is the financial requirement for the 1st year extension, to deposit 800,000 BHT (per person) into a Thailand bank account for a period of 2 months?,

OR

is there another option to have 65,000 BHT deposited (per person) per month for 2 months?

If the 65000 BHT deposits method is acceptable – can you spend the deposited money, or does it have to stay in the bank account and not be touched?

To open a bank account - Can we apply for a certificate of residency certificate once we arrive, by showing 2 months paid accommodation. The accommodation is rented from the owner through Airbnb.

Rental agreement – How long does the rental agreement need to be for?

Does the Thailand bank account need to be in separate names for a husband and wife or can it be in both names?

How many years can we renew the non-immigrant 0 visa – for retirement purposes?

On a retirement Non-immigrant 0 Visa – can my wife enter as a dependent on my Visa, if she is over 50 years old and Australian? If yes, can a bank account be in joint names?

Can a superannuation statement be used as proof of having adequate funds instead of a bank statement?

Thanks so much!

I wish to retire to Thailand, i am 72 years old. I do not have 800000 baht but a pension of about 350000 baht per month. Can I still apply for a visa?

Am I missing something here . Thailand requires me to deposit 800,000 baht into a Thai bank account to get my retirement visa. After 180 days they can then tax my 800,000.

On a one year extension stamp based on retirement - to get a multi entry stamp - at CW - can anyone show up to request it with proper documentation or does the persin who request be present in person as well? In other words can a friend go and get it ? Thanks
