Good day! Tried to search Google first, so be kind …

Please help me with the confusion - retirement visa for Thailand at the age of 50. Do I need to have some monthly income (1850 USD per Google)? Obviously, at 50 years old I won’t be collecting my social security yet … is there a way to get retirement visa based on bank accounts balance or any trick around? Can I pay myself that darn 1850USD each month?

I have funds (sold all the assets in US) but not at retirement age yet

Thanks for your advice

Ps. Not 50 yet, not for a long while BUT already looking into my options outside of the US and EU

How much remaining validity for one's passport is required when one applies to extend their "retirement visa" for an additional year?

My retirement visa is due for renewal on 20th March i am currently back in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 maybe wont be back before then. Can i still come back later in year & renew it by paying about 16000 baht for a year or could i do it online before due date or will have to make a trip over to sort this b4 the 20th? . Would it be void after this date ?

For the 65,000 baht monthly deposit, do need to show that proof of deposit for a year before applying for the 1 year visa or just documentation that I have it? I also have the 800,000 baht to deposit. Could I deposit it and apply for the retirement visa and in parallel deposit the 65,000 baht and eventually prove that I have it and then withdraw the 800,000? Thank you

I’m looking for clarification regarding the level of health cover I need on a retirement visa. I have read online that a minimum of 3 million baht cover for inpatient cover is required but I can’t see anything in regards to outpatient cover or whether it is even required. Please could somebody who knows 100% confirm as I want to get my insurance in place. Many thanks in advance.

Hi,

Hopefully I can get some guidance here and this is not a repeat question ... I have searched but ......

I am on a Non O retirement visa using a bank deposit ... vs a pension.

Can I change banks if at all times I maintain the minimum THB400,000 deposit in the post 3 month period of my visa extension. ... as in I initially have two accounts with THB400,000 plus in them and then drain the old to fill the new.

So at my next renewal I will have statements from two different banks covering the 12 month period but collectively meeting all balance requirements.

Logically that seems ok to me but I know the system has its own intricacies!

I hope that makes sense. Thanks in advance.

Could somebody please clarify for me . Retirement visa ….. is it both 800,000 baht AND 65, 000 monthly income, or is it one or the other ?

I am moving to Thailand early next year from Australia. With the current exchange rate I am a little hesitant to put 800,000 Baht in the bank to cover my retirement visa. If I was to do the 65k Baht income a month till the exchange rate improves can I then swap to the 800k option? Thank you

Ill be coming into Thailand on exempt visa from Usa. Im going for the retirment visa. Whats my very first step getting off the plane? Look for a place to live or just get a hotel room? Or go see an agent first? I could really use step 123 advice please. Thanks

Very premature here but …anyone have an idea of the long term implications of retirement in Thailand re the ever changing tax situation? It’ll be regarding over 50 retirement visa etc . Cheers
