Does anyone know if a person would need a visa traveling to THAILAND from the U.S. I’d like to go for a couple of months to see if and where I want to retire. I’m retired all ready just looking into HUA HIN so any advice will be appropriated

Good Morning, Im arriving in Thailand this week on my first Non O visa based on Retirement from the embassy in London, im a British passport holder.

I feel I have good understanding of the procedure like going to my local IO and finding out the local requirements (Surat Thani in this case) financial requirements, opening a bank account and seasoning the money Etc in regards to my extension of stay.

My question is regarding other paperwork, TDAC ill keep and print off, the initial TM30 thats my air bnb owners resposibilty but after that I have a house rented and a lease in place, my understanding is the landlady will have to do the first one then I could do them after that online or in person, what about going fwd ? everytime I travel internally in Thailand do i need to fill out a TM 30 at everywhere stay? And is there anything else im missing? Thank you in advance to this excellent group.

The retirement visa requirements are confusing me. You have to open a Thai bank account and maintain a minimum balance  to apply for the retirement visa, but in order to open the account, you have to show that you already have a long-term visa…. which you can’t get until you get the bank account ? Can someone please straighten me out?

Can an earned monthly income of $4000 USA currency is acceptable to get a retirement Visa ? Or does it have to be a pension? I'm 52 and married to Thai woman with a 3 year old Thai baby.

Feedback please, Thank you ☺️

Hello, I have a question about the $800k Baht requirement for non O retirement visa. I have half the amount and about $108,000 TB($3200.00 USD)/month retirement income and around $10k USD in savings. The visa agent said he could help meet the $800k level but would hold my passport until my funds cover the full amount. Is this usual practice with visa agents ? I could more than likely fund this fully myself in about 5 months. He adked me how long I would need to fund full amount. This is all new to me so i dont need any sarcastic comments. Just some real practical knowledge from anyone that has experience with this.

Looks like it’s hard to get retirement visa from Thailand, maybe it’s better to retire in Mexico? You just drive into Mexico and stay anywhere for anytime, and Mexico is not more expensive than Thailand
