A question out of curiosity.

For the extension of stay based on retirement, using the monthly transfer method... Do the Immigration Offices care about international outgoing transactions?

The Norwegian Embassy is stopping with the affadavits confirming income from next year, and people who have been getting Non-O and extending their stays with the Affidavit as proof of income are now looking for alternatives. In particular this is about those who don't stay the entire year, but a lot of it. While there are other options, getting the extensions of stay based on their original Non-O would of course be preferable.

So I am wondering if people would be able to send the required 65k a month minimum TO Thailand, but send this amount BACK to a Norwegian account on the months where they are not staying in Thailand.

Or if this would raise some eyerbows at Immigration?

There's be 12 months of 65k going in, but some of those months would see the same amount transferred right back out.

Again, just a question out of curiosity, as trying to help find the best alternatives for the people affected by the Embassies decision.

Thank you

My wife and I are presently divesting ourselves of our assets in preparation for retirement in Hua Hin.

As we are currently residing in the US, we plan to make Thailand our home by December 31st.

To ensure a smooth relocation, I have joined this group to conduct research and have noted that several members are experiencing difficulties with banking requirements. Following a review of the comments, I have surmised that hiring an agent would be the most advantageous approach.

I would like to inquire:

Is this assessment accurate?

Is it recommended that we hire an attorney or agent?

Could anyone suggest a trustworthy contact in the Hua Hin or Bangkok areas?

(Special recognition goes to Meta AI for a well written correction of my original post!)

Is it possible to get a 90 day O visa for either marriage or retirement whilst in Thailand on a tourist visa. I don't want to use any agent if possible.

Hello,

My husband and are are planning a move to Thailand. We plan on spending 5-6 months in a row in the country each year.

We are US citizens

We make 2,000 a month (social security)

We have 210K USD in savings

My husband is 69 years old

I am 39 yrs old.

We currently live in France.

We are planning on purchasing a rental property that will increase our income to 4,000 USD per month.

Can we get a DTV as retired people?

I have been reading the posts on here for some time and had my non-o based on retirement all planned out. Now there is a fly in the ointment!

I am a dual citizen of UK/Aus. Resident in Aus for 19 years and have always used my Aus passport to enter the Kingdom. I was going to move as soon as my visa was granted having applied via e-visa to Canberra embassy.It now looks like I need to go to UK shortly after I retire albeit for only a few weeks. My question is if I am granted the non o in Aus and then travel to the UK returning to Thailand will this be ok?

So if the US Embassy no longer provides proof of 65K+/month how can you meet the income based criteria for retirement visa?

My apologies in advance if this question has already been asked… With a retirement, non-immigration O visa, is international health insurance required? I’m getting conflicting information From what I’m reading online and what I’m hearing from an immigration consultant. Online it says that I have to have it, but my consultant tells me no.

How do the agents for a retirement visa magic 800k in your bank account and provide the visa !? Do they bribe immigration officers is it legit? I understand you could I invest the 800k making good intrest rather than it sat there doing zip.
