I am a US citizen living in the Philippines for the last year. I am moving to thailand based on the OA retirement visa. Do I need a background check from the USA or just a clearance from the Philippines. Or maybe non at all?

Hi all.

I’m currently in Phuket on an OA retirement visa. Phuket immigration allows a combination of 400000b bank balance plus monthly pension payments of at least 400000b to give the required 800000b total. Do the same rules apply elsewhere? I will shortly be moving to Trang province and I’m not sure.

OA retirement question: My husband is on his 2nd year of a OA retirement extension he obtained in his home country, Taiwan. Now, a Thai university is considering giving him a paid research fellowship, so the question is: If he replaces his current OA with a paid research visa (similar to education visa), is there any risk in the future for him to re-apply for OA or O retirement extension?

I know this question has been asked before. My OA retirement visa is up for renewal in December. What is dollar coverage in need to get the renewal?

There was so much chatter about the rules changing ....

Has anybody heard of having to pay to enter Thailand at immigration as of now?

I know this is not a tax profession site, but if on an OA retirement visa, how do taxes on my US pension work? Tips? Experience? TIA

Hello.

Can you tell me if the insurance requirements for the OA retirement visa has changed yet, our renewal is due mid July

Hi, my wife and I are about to apply for our OA retirement visa and saw that we have to do individual applications. Does this mean we have to each have THB800,000 in separate bank accounts or does one deposit of THB800,000 into a joint bank account meet to requirement for both of us?

hello, admin group and everybody, happy lunar new year !

my OA 1 yr retirement visa that I applied in my home city expired in March 2023 and I was given a 1 year entry stamp till March 2024 when I re entered bkk in March 2023.

I am planning to apply for a 1 year extension of my OA retirement visa in bkk in the last week of February. Thanks to the previous posts here, I roughly know the documents needed for the application but I got a few questions and I hope to ask for advice.

1) I know a bank letter is needed but how should the letter be dated in order to fit the application ?

2) do I hv to leave my passport there and about how long can I get it back with a successful application ?

3) could I apply for the multiple entry visa at the same time as I apply for the retirement visa?

4) is there a form I have to fill in for the retirement visa? could I hv the link please ?

thank you for your time.

Hello and first thank-you for all the team working to support this site .. great work!

My question, I am currently on an OA retirement visa extension ( expires Aug 24). I am currently living on Koh Samui but soon will be moving full time up north and so to another province . Am I correct in saying I only have to ensure a new TM30 address is filed ASAP. I do not need to inform Samui immigration locally of my departure ?

Thanks for the support. Mark
