All said here is correct but you can also use an agent to post the 800,000 bah for the retirement visa.

@ALi ****

what a stupid comment. There are several ways to meet the financial requirements without putting $30,000 in a bank account.

Using an agent might alleviate some of the worry about the process

@Kim ********

is true. You would not say these things to a young couple in person. You should be ashamed of yourself

@Felix ***

really nasty reply. Why do you post such hatred

I have got the online process to work twice now. The only caveat I know is that in order to check-in on line you must have checked in with immigration in person or with an agent one time prior to using the online system

When I came last year there was a special 45 day entry visa. I applied for my retirement visa once I had a place to live. I used an agent to open a bank account and get my retirement visa. Only took a few days.

If you have a good idea where you will live then you should have no problem with 30 day entry visa to get retirement visa. The agent can extend the 30 days if needed while getting the retirement visa
