@Tim ******
do they require you to show a yearly lease agreement? I know they don’t have a minimum stay requirement but curious to know if they requested a primary address in Thailand?

I like the LTR since it’s done online, did you end up using an agent?

I am only traveling in Malaysia, spent a month in Thailand and will spend a month in Malaysia to see which is a better retirement destination. Thailand has less of a financial requirement than Malaysia, so we’re thinking of heading back to Thailand to apply for non OA visa which requires a deposit 800k per person for 1 yr visa. I was hoping to bypass an agent if it’s not to difficult to set up a bank acct to make the required deposit in order to process the visa application

I am currently in Kuala Lumpur, I spoke with an agent and he recommend doing a non OA visa and apply in Thailand, he said i would be required to of around $23k deposit in the bank to apply for the retirement visa. I was hoping I didn’t have to use an agent which is why I wanted to know if anyone knew how I could open a bank account to make the deposit?

Hi Natalie, Thank you for the information. my 1st question is, I believe they require proof of residency? Are they looking for a rental agreement for your stay in Thailand prior to being approved? I hate to get into a rental agreement for a year only to find out I maybe rejected. 2nd question, do you know if there is a penalty or a time limit on how long you can be out of the country (Thailand) during a year, for example, if I wanted to visit and stay in another country for say 6 months, would that be a problem?

what is this 90 day reporting? if you have a non-immigrant O visa for a year. Are you required to leave Thailand every 90 days, or just report where you are currently staying every 90 days? Do I need a multi entry visa along with a non-immigrant retirement visa if I want to travel to other countries during my 1 year retirement visa.
