I am on tourist visa been here 3 months need so e help law has changed and i cant open bank accoumt on that visa . Has to be a long term visa so all the banks have told me .

So i want to retire here. I have well over 65000 a month but not the 800.000 to prove.

Only options i can see possibly education visa. Prove 12 months if i can open bank account on that.

Get a job get permit and visa not easy.

Or get an agent to do the bank account and the 800.000 not keen on that as the next year id want to extend myself. Ive hurd there could be issues . Any decent advice be good.

Hello everyone. I'm 71 years old and retired. I live on my social security income. Can I relocate to Thailand on this income only and have only 2k in the bank? Need advice.

Thank you

Question:

The US Dept of State in Washington DC will authenticate my 'Authentic' SS Income verification letter (Issued on Official letterhead and signed and stamped by the SS Agency representative). It can then be Certified as a legal document by the Royal Thai Embassy in Washington, DC.

There is a notary service that takes the document through the entire process for $372 US.

Has anyone successfully used this documentation method for meeting the minimum ฿65,000/month for a retirement here in Thailand (in lieu of the ฿800,000 bank deposit)?

A U.S. citizen living in Thailand on a retirement visa & going back to the states for a week. Got a re-entry permit. Is there anything required state-side as far as visa, etc. to get in & back out in a week?

Silly question perhaps, but . . . When I acquire my retirement visa, 90 day check-ins with immigration. If I leave Thailand one month after my 90-day check-in and go to US for four months, I would miss a 90-day check in. I am hoping that once I reenter Thailand (with tentry permit) that would start the next 90-day check-in. Is that the case? The exit would stop the 90-day clock? TIA

I understand US does not do the monthly income verification any longer. If I want to retire there with the monthly income method, what verification is good for Thailand government for retirement visa? TIA

Brand New on the group, so forgive me if the questions have been asked before.

I’m over 50 and looking to retire in Thailand.

I’ve seen that there is a long term residents visa for over 50s (10 years)

Is there agents that can help with these. I contacted one and they said they couldn’t help or do you have to apply for yourself on line.

What is the cost of these types of visas?

Finally, if I went for a standard retirement visa and used an agent, what is the average cost of agents fees?

Hi ! I am beginning to study the retirement visa world; feeling a little overwhelmed and with a lot of doubts, let’s see if you can help me with these novice questions:

1- Do you have to be 50 years old to apply for the initial Non O Visa or just to apply for the extension?

2- Lenght of stay

So is it 90 days (original visa) + 1 year (extension) from the entrance date in Thai OR 1 year (if you get the extension) from the entrance date in Thai?

And if you get the visa once inside Thai (because you are there on a tourist visa) i suppose the initial date would be that of the stamp…

3- Renewal

This is what i don’t understand: so once you finish your legal length of stay…you just apply for a new extension of the original Non O visa over and over again year after year? With no limit?

4 - Re entry permit

So you first apply (and obtain) the Non O Visa and then ask for a re entry permit at the airport every time you want to leave right?

Thanks !
