A newbie here..I’d like clarification on “O” retirement visa, please.

I have SS verification letter showing above the required monthly income.

I’d rather not put 800,000 baht ($25k US) into a Thai bank. Website shows I need ONE or another but I’ve seen contrary comments here.

I’ve done research and starting to read all posts…can’t find a definitive answer 🤷🏻‍♀️ Anyone know the real skinny??? Thanks much!!

I am from US and have been on an O retirement visa with 800000 for several years, and now I want to apply for the 65000 income monthly version. What financial documentation does immigration want? Is a signed statement from Kashikorn showing the deposit for that month enough?

When going for a one year extension of the O retirement visa do you need to have color copies of your passport pages or black-and-white is OK? 

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

I have an O retirement Visa for 90 days. Is it possible to get 30 days extension so i get 120 days or do i have to make a short Visarun? ( For the next year i put 800.000 Bath in a bank account so i can get it for one year👍). Thanks in advance and have an amazing day 😊👍

First time 90 day report for my O retirement visa, which I have to do in person.

I will be doing this at Hua Hin main immigration office. Some sites say I can do up to 14 days before due date. Can anyone confirm this as 'friends' have said it's 7 day's. Thanks 🙏

Hi All, targeted at Samui residents please.

Can anyone confirm this checklist from Samui immigration (usually in front of counter 4) is the latest for the extension of stay for O/O-A Retirement visa please ? (I am not on the island at the moment)

Thanks in advance 🙏

Heads up to those who are with Bangkok Bank. Starting today they require you to block 400k/800k (depending on your visa type) 4 months prior to renewal even if immigration is asking 3 months. If not they will disclose documents for visa renewal only by making you sign a paper where you pledge to keep the amount for 4 more months.

Attached the announcement

Hello all...i had to broke my OA visa due to change in Health insurance..ok now i am under consideration for an O retirement visa BUT the date due to be there its the same date when my tourist visa end ! can I go before this date (the one writting on the blue receipt ) ?

In May 2025, I intentionally let my O retirement visa lapse. I was and am overseas so there was no overstay. I intend to go to Thailand for one week.

Should I expect any issues at the airport? Can I request a 7 day stamp? I don't want the IO to think that I am attempting to stay without the " proper" visa.
