hello , i am now settled in udon with my dutch wife , and i can get a one year visa here at the immigration service ! we would actually like a 10 year visa, but that lady said it was difficult! but said earns the year visa, and 10 years probably goes another way! and is not interesting to her, I don't believe her! we are both retired! could someone tell me what the path is and what we have to hand in on papers and what the costs are? Thank you in advance, greetings Ruud and Saskia

62year old American traveling w Thai wife to Thailand and i have my 60day visa lined up and will extend it another 30 days for a total of 90 days. (She’s got dual citizenship). We r using the trip to buy a new home and a condo in Samui for retirement.

After the trip we will return to USA and It’s my understanding that the best visa for me going forward is the “Non-O-X” 10 year (5 plus 5 extension)?? I’m assuming the Non-O-X is also Multi-entry???

Any Pro/Con’s to this visa over other visas I should consider? I’m already on her Thai BankBook w over 3M Baht deposited so we already got the financial requirement covered. And we r using the money I’ve got in my account in USA to make the purchase of the house in Bangkok and condo in Samui so we won’t affect the 3M baht requirement in the Thai account. I’ve also got monthly income of 300,000 baht from the states not including my social security which I prob won’t start taking until I’m 65 in 3 years.

Is there a cheaper/better visa that I’m overlooking or is the Non-O-X Visa the best for my situation? Pls advise. Thanks!

Hi I am from the USA trying to get a NON-O-X visa. I need to have a Thai bank account so I can have the required money deposited among other things and the bank told me I need to be in Thailand to open one. Some people told me the best way is to just go there with my passport (and whatever covid required pass) and apply for the long stay retirement visa from there. What is your experience?

Retiring in July and moving to Thailand, are retirement Visas currently available ?

Hello all! I am researching the 10-year Non-O-X retirement visa on behalf of my boss and can't find answers to three questions, maybe someone can help?

1. "Foreigners must report, in person, to the immigration officer every 1 year for the examination of the qualifications and supporting documents". - If the visa holder is not going to remain in Thailand full-time/ be there each consecutive year, can somebody (a local representative under power of attorney) report to the immigration officer on his behalf? Or is it only necessary to report in those years when the visa holder is in the country?

2. A bank account in a Thai bank with 3 million THB deposit is required to apply for the Non-O-X visa. But how can the bank account be opened before the visa is granted, from abroad, without the person's presence in Thailand?

3. If the visa applicant has dual citizenship (UK and Russia), may he provide part of the required documents issued in the UK (such as Certificate of criminal record clearance) and part of the documents issued in Russia (such as the medical certificate)?

**Switching to Non O-X?

**Hello, reading this group yesterday I discovered that there is a Non O-X visa available.

I do have financial availability, and I would like to ask the following.

If money is not an issue, is it worth changing from Non-O (Retirement) to Non-O-X? What are the main advantages/disadvantages.

Thanks

To whom it may concern (German citizens aged 50+): My recent e-mail inquiry at the Royal Thai Consulate in Frankfurt, Germany yielded an answer that they do not issue Non-O-X (retirement visa 5-10 years), only the usual 1-year retirement visa.

But the Royal Thai Embassy in Berlin does issue Non-O-X, see [[members only]).
