Do both spouses need to maintain 800,000 Baht in a Thai bank for a retirement visa?

Alan *********

Please check... my understanding is that - If you have your marriage certificate, get it certified by the Thai Embassy in your home country. Once that is certified by the Ministry of Foreign affairs in Thailand, only one of you will need to have the 800,000 baht in a Thai bank.

Is a monthly income of $3,000 sufficient for a retired couple to live comfortably in Bangkok?

Alan *********

As a retired couple, that should be enough for decent housing and eating out at a good restaurant at least once a week.

(Obviously depends on your lifestyle. Medical bills can be expensive).

Check out numbeo & expatistan.

What are the best visa options for expats over 50 planning to split their time between Thailand, the US, and the UK?

Alan *********

If you plan to leave 800,000 baht in the bank, make sure that your marriage certificate has all the necessary endorsements needed (so that one of you can be a dependent instead of both needing to meet requirements.
