EDIT: My wife and I are retiring together. We are both US citizens. We are both over 50. She is a veteran. She has enough income, mine is a little shy on the monthly amount required. We plan to apply individually.

When your comments mention that rules can depend on the immigration office, are you referring to offices inside Thailand or one of the 5 Thailand Embassies in the US? Thank you all for your valuable input and feedback. 🎉💛

What is the current minimum insurance requirement for a Non-OA extension? I thought I had seen that it was reduced from THB 3 million to less, but I can't find that anywhere. Thanks.

Probably asked a million times but lm wanting retirement visa NON O was told there's a NON OA visa. No 800k in the bank is it true and advantages of both?

What are the requirements from Immigration regarding Insurance level IPD resp OPD when apply for renewal one year visa? Link to official site?

Hi . Some confusion on various sites re the retirement visa. I’ll be applying from the UK before I travel . Non O or Non O-A ? I will not be working just retiring. I understand the Non O -A is better for me ? Can someone explain the difference between the two. Thanks .

I’m looking for clarification regarding the level of health cover I need on a retirement visa. I have read online that a minimum of 3 million baht cover for inpatient cover is required but I can’t see anything in regards to outpatient cover or whether it is even required. Please could somebody who knows 100% confirm as I want to get my insurance in place. Many thanks in advance.

Please help, I am confused. We are retiring in hua hin from new zealand. We know we have 60days, then extend to 30 more days but after that confused with an o visa , oa visa or retirement visa ? Thankyou

I’m from Australia, I have visited Thailand three times in 2024 on a free Tourist  Visa.

Just back in Oz on December 14 

Heading back there on January 3 2025.

Am I in danger of being denied entry for too many trips?

If so, what would be the easiest option for a 60 day stay without needing money in a tight bank account.

Would appreciate any helpful advice 🙏😁

Evening all,

Have read through numerous posts and still can't comprehend the exact answer to my question.

1st extension of stay on a non o-a visa.... If I leave country and re enter during the 1st 12 months with new insurance giving effectively up to 23 months. When the extension is due can the 65,000 baht monthly international transfer be used, if I have that evidenced in Thai bank (UK citizen) or does 1st extension always need to be 800,000 seasoned funds method?

Planning to retire next year. My plans are to live in Thailand but travel 3 or 4 times a year struggling to decide on most suitable visa. I would love your suggestions to help me decide.
