Does the 65,000 Baht monthly income requirement for a Thai visa need to come from a government pension?

@Stephan **********

FB advice groups are useful in pointing people in the right direction. But I've no idea why anyone would use YT videos. 🤷

YT? Just use official sites not random videos. Admin and moderators on this page can advise too.

What steps should I take during my two-week trip to Thailand before retiring there?

Lynnette *******

you won't get a bank account with a tourist visa. And you need a bank account for the retirement extension of stay within Thailand. So, if you want you can do that retirement visa in USA, arrive, open bank account, and do extension process when you're ready to move.

the visa is valid 90 days for your entry to the country. Once you enter your period of stay starts. If you leave before you get your bank account or apply for your "extension based on retirement" you'd probably have to start over. I only know what I've been told as I'm doing the retirement route myself. I already have my bank account.

all are online. You want the non-O retirement visa. Then when you arrive get the bank account sorted. You then have to apply for the extension.

all are on line. And so long as over 50 you can apply. It's hard to open bank accounts without a visa and you need a Thai bank account for the 12 months extension of stay based on retirement. So get a visa before you arrive, it'll give you time to sort out the bank account.

Over 50? Get non-O retirement visa in USA. Travel to Thailand. Open bank account. Deposit 800,000 tbt. Apply for 12 month extension.
