I'm on a retirement visa and new rules say , when U take Ur bank book to do Ur visa or visa renewal , the 800k HAS to be visible in ur bank 2-3 prior and 2-3 after , any other time it doesnt need to be there but i did hear it cant go below 400k so u need to check on that.

This stops the agents depositing the cash for u then 5 mins later returning it.. cos they are trying to by pass it.

Thailand don't want the poor in and they see 800k a year as acceptable.

@Buriram *****

read above ...

Non Thai couples wanting retirement visa are seen as individuals , wow didn't know that and both over 50 and both have 800k each.

@Vincent ********

ah she is Lao that's only for Thais

If married it's 400,000b a couple

State where U are , maybe someone here is close and can advise

No never .. not a baht to open an ACC. 🤔

I'm in the same boat with my past and I've been here many years and never once been asked my background.

Ur best option is above , 30 day visa on arrival and an agent to do all for U no questions asked.

@Kace ******

U arrive here on a 30 days free visa.

Once here U get a bkk bank acc.

And have Ur pension placed into it.

Then U get a 60 day extension.

This gives U min 2 month for Ur pension to show.

Then U find the docs needed , like residence paper and evidence of Ur pension etc...

Go to Immigration with 1900b and join the que for a retirement visa. Or U pay an agent and sit back till done.
