Hey all, hope all of you had a great weekend.

Just trying to find the easiest way to get a visa for Thailand.

I will be 55 in January.

I have the monthly income that is required for retirement visa but not the 800,000.

What is the best way to get this visa?

I’m so looking to escape the daily struggles of living in the states and tired of just surviving, I want to live in peace and travel Asia.

I would like to make Pattaya my base but also travel to other Asia countries for vacations.

I have asked in a military retirement group but get different answers and have watched so many you tube videos and still not sure.

Any help is appreciated. I really did try due diligence and the closest Thailand embassy is about 700 miles away

Hi! My non-o marriage visa will expire on 7.12.24 and until now, I had no idea I can just extend it without leaving Thailand!

Is there a time limit for the extention? And as I understand from other posts, every immigration office has their own rules? I'm going to visit the one in Sriracha tomorrow. Please give me a few advices before I go there😅🙏

Hi I have a question about the Non-immigrant OA Visa (from my country). If I submit application whist still working (full-time) and declare full time salary on form, then retire a month or 2 later then travel to thailand does this affect visa during the 1 year period. My transfer to superannuation income from full time income will still be well above the 65,000BHT minimum. I will then transfer to retirement visa at end of 1 year period.

Sorry if these questions have been asked before.

I used to do my retirement renewal myself.

Then it just got to be a pain.

So started using agents, But they seem to have gotten very greedy

I have an income of over 1 million bt a year,

I do not have 8 hundred thousand in the bank.

But I was told by the bank they could give me a printout of the last year that shows I bring the required amount every month

To be sure will immigrations accept this?

And do I need anything more other than the paperwork that I have picked up?

I was thinking of going to do a trial run at the immigration office soon I have until June 13th.

I bought a house last year with my girlfriend

I am in Chiang Mai

Don't know why this stuff makes me so nervous

This will be my 16th renewal.

I try to book an appointment but none is available

So how does the queue work do you still have to be there at dawn?

Thanks for help

I am currently on a Non O visa with retirement extension. I have the required 800,000 in the bank to qualify.

My Visa was renewed on 24 June 2020.

I want to withdraw 400,000 to buy a vehicle. That will leave 400,000 in the bank. To renew my visa in June 2021, I believe I will have to show 12 monthly payments going back to June 2020, that will demonstrate I have an income plus savings that will equate to 800,000 baht.

That would be approx 33,333 baht per month over the 12 month period. Does that mean it has to average out over the 12 payments or is it strictly a minimum of 33.333 baht or more per month. My problem is that in July I only transferred 31,000 baht but generally I will exceed the 33,333 baht by at least 2 or 3 thousand per month.

I hope I have stated my question clearly.

Thank you.

Christmas present from Khon Kean Immigration. I know now that the 60 day Extension is only given once on a visa in Khon Kean. This means they check your passport back with all given Extensions till the old visa. If you have 1 time the 60 day Extension during, for me 3 years, the time between original visa and application day, the answer is a clear NO, you go border for 30 day stamp and than I give you this Extension of Stay. My Dutch after tax income ( I know Thai Immigration allows before tax, but Dutch Embassy only does after tax) is due to low exchange Euro to Thai Baht just under 40.000 Thb, also a big NO. So looking forward to a nice train ride early next year from Khon Kean to Nong Khai for a new border stamp and praying that the Euro become a little bit stronger in the next few months.

I’m considering getting a retirement visa. What I need to know, is, if my income is only 600usd month, how much do I need to have in my savings account to be eligible?

Can I get a retirement visa while inside Thailand? My friend says that I can't. 60 y.o U.S. citizen.
