I am planing to get a 90 day non o visa in Australia ,come to Thailand open a bank account,put 800000 baht in account and apply for 12 month extenion based on retirement. I have been coming to thailand regulary over last 2 years on tourist visas for 55 days at a time 2025 3 x .With crackdown on people staying over 150 days i thought its time to get a long term visa

My problem is I dont want to spend 90 days in Thailand to setup the non o visa as getting doctument together to open bank account together then transfering money

Waiting 2 months after money arrives to get extension if I hit some snag along the way will take almost the full 90 days

Any suggestion how i could achive a 12 month extension in less time

Ideally i would like to arrive get a lease on on an apartment open a bank account transfer money return to Australia for a month then return on a new 90 non O and

Extened for 12 months as my 800,000 would had been in bank for 2 months.

Hi guys,

Is it possible to get a retirement visa while currently in the country on a tourist visa, without having a Non-O or a Thai bank account? Is the only option in this case unfortunately to leave the country and apply for the Non-O abroad?

Hello

I have 2 quick questions. Can I get a retirement visa and then switch it over to a marriage visa? Second question: If I got a retirement visa in January, would I be able to leave in February and come back in April or May without issue? I appreciate your opinions.

God bless

I'm trying to create a timeline for my retirement in Thailand. I will be applying for a Non O 90 day visa. I live in the USA now, about how long does it take to be approved on the average? Just an approximate, I know all applications can take different times. Next, after approval, how long is it valid before I actually go to Thailand. My reason is I am in the process of selling all my stuff and then I need to sell my condo. I don't want to be approved so far in advance that it expires before I can leave. Thanks.

Hello I need some advise. We've applied for a retirement visa and got an email stating that the Wise Acct isn't considered a bank which we've transferred most of our funds to, that bank so not sure how to go about this. Everything else is in order so I'm left confused on what to do, please any advise anyone!

Working on retiring to Thailand next year. A couple of questions

1 - Showing income requirements for renewal every year, can I use an income letter from Irish Embassy and therefore escape having to use Thai banking system with all its issues.

2 - do I still have to have Health insurance as I will be showing funds larger than the 800k baht needed.

Hi all, I'm a 68 yr old Australian and will be applying for a 90 day non o visa based retirement. Can I use my superannuation statement for the 800,000 bht proof of funds. Thank you for your feedback

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.

Hello.What are your requirements to proceed with multi entry retirement visa? Thank you

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?
