Hello! Is there somewhere I can begin or a document I can read with beginner knowledge? I am thinking of relocating to Thailand in the upcoming year but have no idea where to begin especially regarding the Visa process

With a retirement visa what are the tax implications for sending money to your thai bank account?

And is there a time factor involved that influences tax.

Also....is there a minimum amount of time i have to be in Thailand while I have a retirement visa?

I’ve enjoyed my first 60 days in Thailand, received my 30 day extension today. I will fly to Hanoi when my time is up. Can I apply for a Thai retirement visa while in Hanoi, or do I have to return to USA to accomplish that. Thanks.

When opening a bank account in Thailand to transfer the 800k baht required for retirement visa is this in a savings or current account? 🙏

ReEntering Thailand with a single entry permit on a retirement visa does anyone know what stamps get put in your passport

I know the Re-Entry will get stamped USED but what about the remaining length of my stay what stamp do they use for that

I've been in Thailand and my third month is approaching at the end of July.

Im trying to work out how to get a retirement Visa,do I need to leave the country then return and get another stamp for another month then what do I need to do ?

Im putting 1,500,000($70,000 aud) into my Thai bank account next week,question is how can I get

a retirement Visa,my passport has my current address and stamped,

Help would be very much appreciated

Thank you

Hey everyone. I'm doing my retirement visa renewal this Tuesday at the Jontiem office. I have all the documents but here is the question. My leasing agent gave me a copy of the owners passport for the condo. Now should there be lines on it and his signature? This copy is just the passport photo page no lines or signature. Thanks

Hi everyone,

I'm currently in Australia and looking to apply for a Thai Non-Immigrant O visa as a step toward obtaining a retirement visa in Thailand. From what I understand, this is the correct path—please let me know if that’s not right.

I checked the Royal Thai Embassy Canberra website and found the following required documents:

1. Biodata page of your passport or travel document

2. A recent photograph (taken within the last 6 months)

3. A document showing your current location (e.g., utility bill or driver’s licence)

4. A letter of qualification endorsement issued by the Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) — This letter is only valid for 60 days and must be applied for via [[members only])

I’m a bit confused about point #4. Has anyone here applied for this BOI qualification letter? What exactly does it involve, and how do you go about it if you're applying as a retiree (not under a business or investment category)?

If you've gone through this process, I’d really appreciate it if you could share your experience or walk me through what you submitted and how long it took.

Thanks so much in advance!

Good morning, i have to organise my trip out of Thailand next week

At the expiry of my current visa exemption extension, it will be 3 month and a week before i reachi 50 yo.

First question that i have to find an answer to is how many days left on Visa exemption extension are needed after turning 50 to be able to apply for a retirement non-o.visa.

Because I have to choose between either doing 2 one day trip border bounce OR doing only one trip out but stay several days abroad.

My Immigration office is Jomtien .

Thanks

Hi all,

does anyone have experience applying for dtv or retirement visa from South Africa?

I'm based in Cape Town, no Thai embassy. Closest embassy is Pretoria.

Is physical presence at the embassy required or can everything be done online?
