Good morning,

So i finally got my non-o retirement visa at Jomtien, based on 800k in the bank.

It says admitted on 10 november 2025 and valid until 7 february 2026.

They said I can apply for the one year extension after the 7th of january.

My last bankbook update is from the 28 october. This is an account i use only for the visa.

At what dates should i do bank moves and updates so the 800k appears correctly for the extension in January. I am afraid to screw it up...

Hope i am clear. Thanks

Has anyone come in on a tourist visa and successfully changed it to an o retirement visa with an extension from within Thailand?

Hi we will travel to Vietnam to apply for the dtv. My husband will be the main applicant and me and our 3 children will be the dependants and will apply once his has been accepted. I have read each country has different requirements for the funds. Can the money just be in my husbands bank for us all? Thankyou

I had a retirement visa that I couldn't renew because I had to leave Thailand for a family emergency.

So I have to apply for a new visa.

I already have the bank account with 800 000 B.

Do you think that immigration office will ask for a recent proof of transfer from overseas ?

Hi when applying for the Thai- marriage visa stamp when is your evidence required marriage cert & Partners details & banking plus your pension payments plus the 4oo,ooo bht etc,is this done before on Thai embassy app or is it applied for just before your 60 days are completed after you have opened the Thai Bank Account.Reason for Question is im confused as you cant open a bank account unless you have the Visa .

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

For how long do you need to have 500,000 baht in your account if applied in Hanoi/malaysia?

Hi, I am intending to apply for the DTV (workcation - foreign talent) in order to write a book about music in Thailand. I have a real portfolio. Most of my spare money sits in my Australian retirement account, which, thanks to my age, I can now access like a slow bank. Do I need to move the THB500,000 into a regular bank account?

Hello, my situation seems complex. I want to go to Thailand in January for eventual retirement. I receive a yearly payout of nearly 800k on January 1, not monthly payments. But I will need some of that to live on, so can’t tie it up in a Thai bank for months.

I don’t currently have 500k for the DTV, and I understand that I need to show a bank statement with that amount for 3 months before applying for a DTV. So, I can apply April 1.

What visa makes the most sense when I go in January?

Is it reasonable to have “some kind” of visa until April 1, then apply for a DTV, then get an over 50/retirement visa when I can leave 800k in a Thai bank?

After having received the DTV, should one still keep the funds in that bank account in the event they ask for a reconfirmation anytime later on for whatever reason. Or are chances low they will ask for a proof of these funds again within the 5 year period of the visa? Would be a shame to keep the money sitting idle there for 5 years.
