If a couple over 50 wants to retire in thailand, do they both have to deposit 800,000 baths?

I wont' have 800k to keep in my Thai bank account, so to eventually obtain my residents visa, I intend to deposit 65,000b per month instead. I am a UK citizen. I will contact my old employer, Tate & Lyle, and ask them to pay that amount into my Thai bank account.

My question is : does my comapny issue me with some kind of certificate, and if so, who do I contact to get that certified to provide me proof of this income? Can I get it within the UK via the Thai embassy there, or from the embassy in Bangkok. I live in Chiang Mai.

Thanks.

I am planning to apply DTV （ freelance.） ☺

Does freelance 300k the income /month , is the one of condition?

500K certification from the bank account only I thought...

I would appreciate it if you give me advice. Thank you🙏

Hi.

Couple of questions,,,

1. How long before arrival in Thailand is it ok to apply for a non-o retierment visa? Can I apply 10-11 weeks before arrival?

(want good time to fix a few things before I go)

2. I read some place that the 65k a month confirmation from the embassy dont work for the 1st 1year extension. Does this apply no matter what country you are from or just some countries?

(Btw, Im norwegian)

3.I have been in Thailand 2 times already this year on 30 visa exempt. One I stayed 19 days, the other 28 days. Will this be an issue to enter again with a propper visa?

🤔

Hi, my parents are ready to apply for a visa. They are 65 and have the required monthly income each of 65000 baht but not the lump sum of 800,000. They would like to spend most of the year in Thailand but return to NZ every year to visit family. They hope to do this for a few years. Some advice please on the best visa to apply for? The visa fees just went up a lot here in NZ which we didn’t expect but we have left it late so want to know the best visa to go for as the price is now $$$$! Thank you 🙏🏽

Hi thanks for admitting me. I read somewhere that instead of the 800000 baht deposit in a bank. That it's possible to show something like 60000 baht a month deposited over a year

I just got my 90 days non immigrant visa in london. Single entry to visit my spouse. What document do i need to extend to one year spouse visa got told i have to have 400000 in thai bank. I am still working in london can i show my pay slip as a income. Instead deposit in thai bank. Any advice welcome

Does American embassy notarize income from abroad for 65,000baht requirement for retiremnt visa?

If yes, doesnit need to go in for 12 months prior, or is that only if your embassy doesnt certify those funds?

On a side note im turning 50 in a year and want to do the easiest route to getring that type of visa…..

Side question: if i do have to deposit for 12 months prior, couldni spend the money after each monthly deposit? Ornwouldnit need to sit in there for specific amount if time?

Thanks!

I was told today by a Visa agent that if I get a “certificate” from the US Embassy showing my income from Social Security, I don’t need to have my SSI deposited in my Thai bank account to meet the financial qualifications for a retirement visa. Just curious if anyone in this group has ever gotten such a certificate from the US Embassy in Bangkok or the Philippines, or knows the procedure for doing so?

Hi all , what is an acceptable document to certify income for an O-A M visa application based on retirement at Thai Embassy in London ?

P60 or salary slip ? Bank Statement ?

UK citizen over 50 , no work in Thailand.

Thanks.
