understood but, if one wants to live in TH most of the time, health insurance, unfortunately, is necessary.

But the 3 million had to stay on the account??? Ridiculous!

True, each immi office can do what the boss says, it’s TH….

Thks for that

What are the fund maintenance conditions for the Non-Immigrant O-X Visa in Thailand?

@Pete ******

I agree, the word “thereafter” is not mentioned on the consulate page in Germany, neither in German nor in English translation.

But, true, anything else wouldn’t make much sense.

What is the process and timeline for obtaining a Long-Term Residency (LTR) visa as a wealthy pensioner in Thailand?

Jurgen ********

@Colin ******

had the same issue, provided all kind of evidence of passive income but BOI insisted on official tax return which I still cannot provide because of substantial delays and my objection against the 2023 tax statement.

Not sure why they are so focused on this…

@Wylie ******

Thanks, thought so, none of TR visas allows extension longer than 30 days.

Only Non-O over 50 and visiting Thai family longer than 90 days offer the 1 year extension.

Do not want the O-A which would have been the alternative.

What is the most suitable visa for retiring and traveling frequently to Thailand?

Jurgen ********

@Marty ********

the „the better rate of return“ was probably correct in the past but with lower interest rates and a very strong THB, this argument doesn’t hold these days… THB gained approx 10% over the last 6 months or so against all “western” currencies.

that‘ actually a great visa even for retirees as long as one is interested in cooking class (would exclude the Mueng Thai🤔).

Just wonder if, after leaving and returning, one has to prove again the attendance of a class…

@Brandon ***********

It’s a multiple entry visa, should mean that you can leave the country during the 180 days but are allowed to be in TH max 180 days per year starting with the date of the visa, is that correct?

And what does this “180 days + 180 days” mean please?
