Up to now I've been renewing my extension of stay using an income affidavit from my consulate. The writing is on the wall that this will be discontinued at some stage in the future. Is depositing min 800k in my Thai bank 2 months prior to visa renewal sufficient? I read somewhere between the lines that you have to maintain a min of 400k over a 12 month period.

Thank you

Hi, wife and I plan to move to Thailand next year on a non O retirement visa. We will get the 90 day non O visa in our home country (USA) first, my question is the origin of the 800K deposit per person, must my wife’s deposit come from a USA bank account in her name or can each of our 800k deposits come from an account in my name only?

I tried to reach out to the Thai embassy in DC for an answer but no response yet.

Thank you!

Hello Group, I am here on a Non-O based on marriage, also have a Thai child and arrived April 7th, 2025. Unfortunately I didn't get the 400K deposited into my Bangkok Bank until April 29th. Fast forward to June 19 and had a medical emergency ( heart attack ), which caused me to dip into the 400k, bringing it down to around 100K. I am stamped 90 day until July 6th. I am guessing that this will be an issue at IO. I was planning on refilling my Thai bank account back up to 400K+, but wanted to consult the group first. Do I really have to start this whole process again? I am also hoping IO will take into consideration the medical situation and extend my initial 90 day, allowing me to stay and season the 400K. Will consider agent at this point. Please help!

🙄 Hi members.

Hit a big snag when doing E-visa..I'm 70 years old.

Been passed good to travel

By Doctors... this is where problems start.

Because I've had Major operations no insurance company wants to know me.

They all push me to Insurance Brokers who want a arm and leg... I'm applying for non immigrant OA..

It's asking for insurance policies..any way around insurance.. have funds to cover my self..plus the money you need for Bank.

Am I looking at wrong visa

Is there a better option.

Have home but can't live in it.

PS.. in Thai Girlfriend name

Thanks..

Question pls.: after Non-o 90 days to get an annual extension the bank account deposit has to be 2 solid month or is equivalent of 62+ days ok as well? Thank you for sharing your experience.

is it correct that the thai retirement visa request the bank deposit of 800k - 3 - month be4 application and 3 month after and if use after maximum 400 k can be reducted and again filled up 6 month later?

Hi,

I'm trying to determine when the 3 months has passed after being granted an extension of my retirement visa to be able to drop the funds deposited in my bank account to below 800,000 baht,

Is it from when the visa was granted, 17th December 2024 or 16th January 2025 when my new visa started?

Thanks in advance.

Hello all. I live in Bangna, Bangkok. I'm British here on NonO visa which expires on 18th March. I'm planning to apply for my Retirement Visa by myself. I have the funds in the account but just for a month now. I have TM30.

Which immigration office do I need to go to?

Any advice or tips will be helpful.

Thank you.

Probably asked a million times but lm wanting retirement visa NON O was told there's a NON OA visa. No 800k in the bank is it true and advantages of both?

One more questionsl about this Bank deposit of 800000..?

Have this to stay in Bank permanent or only when i renew/extend the Visa?

And thank you very much for all the comments on my Last question
