Do I need proof of onward travel if arriving with a 90-day non O “retirement” visa?

You get a new visa every three months? I’m interested to understand more about this potential option.

Your question is sensible except the $25,000 USD “savings” is required to be held in a Thai bank and must be maintained at that amount for yearly extensions. So maybe some people have $50,000 USD in actual and accessible savings but it’s difficult to make one half of that generally inaccessible.

Thanks a lot. I’m going to follow your advice and just start a dummy application to learn the exact requirements before doing the actual application.

I’ve considered this but my paranoia has me concerned that once I enter ANY info it will be forever connected to my identity and if it’s not perfect I’ll be hung at dawn. Do you mean enter a dummy name, etc, just to learn exactly what the requirements are?

It’s a very well known online bank. But I have to be SURE my high yield savings account will meet the visa requirements.

I stuck $25,000 into a savings account in a well known online bank. Will this not meet the requirements? Yikes!

No investments but a fair amount of equity in my house and land I’ll be selling in June. Meager SS and a little $$$ buried out behind the barn. 😳
