Should I have applied for an eVisa or a Non-O visa as a first-time retiree in Thailand?

Greg ********

@Angela ********

The first year if you get O-A in your home country it can be in home country. Renewals in Thailand it needs to be 1) in a Thai account or 2) Proof of 65k THB a month deposited into your Thai account. If you arrive here and get O here you will need the 800k in your account for 2 months before 12 month extension issued.

Anonymous participant Just to add one of the main reasons for retirees to get the 90 day O before arriving is to open a bank account. Then you deposit 800k for 2 months and apply for the 12 months O extension based upon retirement at a local Immigration Office.

Agree. A bit of acupuncture and a testosterone injection seem a bit light for a 5 year visa. You can get the injection in 2 minutes in the pharmacy where you buy to meds. Might get lucky in PP as I do not think many applying there at the moment.

Anonymous participant For an O or LTR in applying Thailand yes get a 90 Day O in your own country is one route. However, NOT for a DTV. Do you want an O or LTR based on Retirement or a DTV based on remote working or soft power?
