Hello, I am looking in a year's time to swap to 65k monthly transfer method for non o visa. Does the 65k have to be deposited in 1 payment or can it be transferred in say 3 payments. Thanks

First I want to thank any responders in advance. I also want to express my appreciation of this form, I keep learning from it.

I am a US citizen and I am 71 with several questions.

I currently have a one year multiple entry marriage visa. For complex personal reasons I will likely need to change to a retirement visa. I have 800K baht in a Thai bank account. I have monthly social security income that will more than meet Thai minimum requirements. and can be direct deposited to a Thai bank.

I do not think have the funds to apply for any of the newer higher cost visas essentially established to attract wealthier retirees. Although, if the one that costs 50K baht were for some reason strongly recommended, I could potentially save enough before a move to apply for that one.

Any suggestions or recommendations about converting from a marriage visa to a retirement visa?

Since I need my social security to live on in the US until a move here, how can I transition from the 800K baht in a Thai savings account requirement to demonstrating I have sufficient monthly deposits to meet Thai requirements?

If I have sufficient monthly income, does that eliminate the requirement of maintaining $800K baht in the bank

I am confused by insurance requirements. Is there any way to demonstrate sufficient income so that the insurance requirement is waived?

If I need the insurance, who will insure an older gent at a reasonable cost for the Thai minimum coverage?

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Just grabbing at straws with this question. Without the USA consulate affidavit of income being available to its tax paying citizens, would an Apostilled government pension (social security) benefit letter pass as proof of income?

If not accepted by immigration in Thailand for, say, an extension of stay or in-country O, would it be accepted for an O visa retirement application in border embassies or consulates…like Suvannaket. I sent an inquiry but haven’t heard back.

Thanks

Good afternoon, I am in the process to change my extension of stay from ‘guardian’ of expat children studying here to retirement. I am clear about the process about canceling one extension and reapplying for the new one. For the retirement the only unclear to me is the use of the combination method between deposit and annual income. Practically I have received foreign remittances in excess of 65k monthly for 11 months out of the 12 required prior to the application therefore I cannot use the monthly income method. I have the 800k in the bank for two months. I would prefer to use the combination method but I am not sure how that works. Can someone assist? Thank you.

I have a METV from UK, in May 2019 I am returning to UK for about 4 weeks to attend a wedding. I intend to apply once in UK for a Non-Imm Category O Visa based on being married to a Thai National (getting officially married in April 2019).

Question: A bit confused as to were my monies need to be located. To obtain a Non-Imm O Visa I believe I need B800,000 (£20,000) in a UK bank a/c for , but I have read that I also need B400,000 (£10,000) in a Thai bank (which I have) to apply for a Marriage Visa.

Sorry but its probably simple to understand, but thought it best to ask on here, as to me it isn't simple...😂
