Hello group.

Im in a retirement visa up here in Chiangmai. My annual renewal date is december 12. I do the actual renewal 2-3 weeks before. The question is. What date is used for the 800.000 to be in the account 3 month ? .. is the "visa date" or the actual date when you do the renewal ?.. wkr Henrik

Does anyone know if need 800k in bank two or three months before applying for my visa extension?

Happy New Year!

Have to get a new extension next month for Non-O (over 50). First time doing it in Bangkok. Does Chaengwattana require the bank issued transaction record or does the updated bank book and copy showing 12 months of transactions suffice (along with the bank letter)?

Advice for keeping enough in the bank in my case 400,000 baht . On a marrage ext does it have to be my name only and can it be in an interest account ?

I’m trying to figure out the best way to retire and live in Thailand 6 months and US 6 months. If I get a retirement visa, can I avoid the deposit 800,000 baht deposit without depositing my SSA check directly in a Thai bank? Suggestions?

Hi everyone

I’m about to renew my retirement visa.

I have the required 800,000 in a Thai bank account.

I understand that I have to keep a minimum of 400,000 in that account and ensure that there’s 800,000 3 months before my visa renewal next year.

My question is :

How fast after obtaining the visa can I withdraw 400,000?

Thank you.

I have the 800k but I don't think i want to tie it up in a Thai bank account. Is it worth getting an agent to sort things out?

Can someone give me a contact for a reliable efficient immigration lawyer in Bangkok. I want to get a retirement visa. 🙏🙏🙏

Its that time of year again for me. The annual trip to Savannakhet for a Multi Entry Non Imm O based in marriage.

Have the required documents changed at all? I believe now 400K baht is required to be seasoned for 2 months?

- Savannakhet specific applciation form

- Two passport photos

- 5000 THB application fee

- Copy of rose-bordered marriage certificate, both sides, signed by wife and me

- Copy of Kor ror 2, both sides, signed by wife and me

- Copy of wife's Thai ID signed by her

- Copy of wife's housebook signed by her

- Copy of my passport biodata page signed by me

- 400K baht in bank statements

I'd also like to ask if the same visa is available at Vientiane Loas with the same requirements. I used to used Savannakhet as the 400K banked funds was not needed, but Vientiane is much closer.
