With your first retirement visa you receive 15 months. Same for everyone.

12 months thereafter. I recently got mine .

I’m only repeating what the Branch told me. Maybe it’s a Farang tax 🤷‍♂️

I was recently charged 5500 baht for insurance with Bangkok Bank when opening an account. It’s compulsory now, and not worth the paper it’s written on.

I recently paid 45K Baht. The first visa is for 15 month. The agent took care of the bank deposit and account. Bangkok Bank is insisting on purchasing 1 year accident insurance with the account. Make sure you have a minimum of 30 days on your visa for opening the account.

If you are suggesting a 3 month visa, you are correct. I assumed the OP was referring to a 1 year retirement visa.

Pay an Agent. Bangkok Bank insisted on me buying 1 year accident insurance too.
