I am married to a Thai and applying for the O retirement visa

Being married do I require 400,000 baht or 800,000 baht in a Thai bank?

Also what is the maximum amount that I can transfer to my Thai Krungthai bank account from Australia?

Looking for some advice on what order to do things next, in now my O visa has been issued this morning.

I'm off to Hat Yai in four weeks time, looking to live there.

I have a condo agent ready to meet with to take out a years rental.

When I get there, what order should I do things in in relation to:

Extending to one year.

Opening a bank account.

Dropping the 800K in the account

Renting the condo.

I have one month booked in a rental when I get there which allows me to get on and sort things out.

Your advice, if you have done this, in what order I should do things, would be very much appreciated,

Feel free to explain the steps like I'm 9 years old. Many Thanks.

Hello. I'm looking for some clarification and advice. My spouse and I are from USA and both over 50.

We are looking to get the LTR next year, once my spouse can show a little extra passive income on our taxes from renting out our house.

In the interim, we would like to enter Thailand on either an O or O-A visa. The problem appears to be that we thought we only needed to show the 800,000 Baht in our bank on the day of application, but now we noticed we need three months of statements.

We have access to the funds, but with the misunderstanding, we did not yet put them in an account(s) and we want to travel soon.

We also have the option of showing $2,500 in income with those statements. We have a joint checking where my spouse can easily demonstrate that income, but I am a little short.

Based on that, it appears my spouse should have no problem with either the O Or the O-A immediately, but I might have issues.

Based on the above we have a few questions:

1) Do I need to show the money in my account for all three months? I would qualify if I only needed it on application submission.

2) Would they take our total monthly income in our joint account and split it between us? If so, then I would have enough income for all three months.

3) I know I can't open a Thai account without a 90 day visa. Of course, I could go on an exemption or vacation visa. I could then return to the USA after three months and apply for an O or O-A, but that's not very ideal. Is there another option that would allow me enter Thailand sooner and not have to return to the USA to reapply?

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this, and for helpful clarification or advice.

I want to change my O-A to an O visa. Is it important that I cancel my current visa Extension first or can I just bounce across a border, get a 60 visa exemption stamp and let my current Extension lapse?

I have worked out everything so will be applying to the embassy in the US for the “O” visa to get my 90 days coming into Thailand which should hopefully allow me to open my Thai Bank Account and transfer the 800k Baht to season for 60 days so I am able to file my one year extension.

My question is I do know the area I think I want to start out and was planning on using Airbnb. I am wondering if this feasible or if I actually would need a more permanent address? I am hesitant to go straight into a one year lease and everything I see all say one year contracts or is there a way to terminate a lease early. Or is there a place to look for shorter term leases?

Thanks in advance!!

I entered Thailand on an O Retirement Visa and now need to extend it. For the visa itself, I did not need to provide proof of health insurance, but I’ve read that such proof is required for the extension. If this ist right, does anyone have experience with the combination of German Beihilfe and private insurance, and how this can be documented in a way that is accepted by the immigration office? Could somebody give me advice?

Thank You!
