Hello everyone, I’m planning on applying for Thailand’s retirement Non O visa here stateside. I have a plan, let me know what you think. On arrival immediately deposit 800k bhat and at the same time start transferring additional amounts to meet the monthly of at least 65k bhat. By the time I apply for my 1st extension I will have the funds required and at least 2 maybe 3 months of deposits, so by the time it’s time for 2nd renewal I’ll have at least 13 or 14 months of deposits to show that I have met the monthly income. Ok so far right, now my question is. When can I take out the 800k bhat? Your thoughts appreciated.

I am reaching out for clarification on the financial requirements for a retirement visa in Thailand. My husband and I are planning to move there and would appreciate knowing whether we each need to maintain 800,000 Baht in our account or if a single joint account with 800,000 Baht meets the requirements for both of us?

Have a complex application - husband is eligible for retirement visa with decent UK income. I am 48 and his dependant. We also have an 18 yr old who is an online A-level student for the next 12 or 24 months (exam dependent) then he will be off to uni in the UK.

We are currently travelling in Egypt on a 6 month tourist visa.

Should we apply to the embassy here in Cairo ? Or do we come for a visit to Thailand and then apply there using an agent? Not sure what is the easiest and best way to apply.

Thanks for any advice - appreciated much!

I have a retirement visa and re entry stamp in my passport but I’m seeing conflicting information about if I need to complete an ETA electronic travel authorisation or a digital entry permit. I’m not even sure if these are the same thing. Can someone who has traveled back to the kingdom please advise me. I’m traveling on a British passport.

Hello everyone,

I'm not in Thailand yet, but I'm hoping to move when I retire in a few years.

One question: I've read that you may not do volunteer work with a Retirement Visa as it's considered work. Is this true? If true, do people defy it or is that too risky?

Thank you in advance to anyone who can answer:)

Can someone tell me when I need to do my 90 day report?

Is it 90 days from the start of my new retirement extension or from my last 90 day report?

Many thanks

It seems that for those that qualify based on the passive income requirement, the LTR is an easier option for a long stay. Is there an advantage by going the non o to oa route over the ltr?
