Hi. I'm retired this year and would like to stay in Thailand. I want to make a combination of 9 months Thailand and 3 months Belgium to see my kids. June, July and August I would be gone. I can prove I have 65.000 Baht every month but I not have the 800K to put in a bank. What kind of visum should I ask?

Thanks, Mario Belgium

How long do you need the money in your account for?

Does the entire 500,000 baht need to be in the same bank account?

I have my money spread across a few bank accounts that are in my name. Will it be ok to show 3 month records of all the bank accounts with the cash in it?

Thanks in advance

Does the money required for a thai retirement visa have to be in a thai account or is uk bank ok?

Is there any actual requirement for how long the 500,000THB must be in your account for? I’m seeing nothing online about there having to be a strict time frame however it seems they’re less likely to accept if less payslips? Thanks for your help!

Hi, I just had a couple questions regarding the DTV application.

1. I have a employment contract/agreement with an employer in my home country, but the base salary is pretty low. I supplemet my income by working on outlier ai (data annotation platform), should I include both jobs for the employment section? and what documents will suffice to prove freelance work with outlier, dashboard screenshots?

2. My second question is, I receive my payroll directly in my savings bank in my home country and outlier through paypal. But for the financial requirement document, I’m planning to submit my Thai bank account, which has maintained >500k for 6 months. Will this be a problem?

Excuse me, would it be acceptable to demonstrate that I transfer 65,000 baht monthly to my wife's account, or is it necessary for me to possess my own account for a retirement visa?

Any Indians who recently got approved can tell me how much money you had in your bank account and for how long? Is 10 lakhs enough? Or 13.89 lakhs (converting 500k THB)? Especially those who applied at Chennai.

Yesterday I went to Bangkok Bank Jomtien branch in Pattaya to get my annual letter confirming monthly transfers of 65,000 bahts which in the past Immigration has required. The bank officer told me that they no longer provide such letters as in the past, and that I had to take my bank books for the past 12 months + photocopies of the relevant pages showing the monthly transfers, and that Immigration will accept this as proof. The bank does still issue a letter confirming that I am an account holder that will state the balance on hand on the day of renewal application., but that's all. Has anyone else had this experience?
