Which is the better retirement visa for Thailand, Non-O or Non-OA?

Marty *********

The OA requires insurance. The O doesn’t require insurance. Aside from the insurance requirement they both have the same exact 1 year extension requirements. Go for the O visa.

I had an OA for 6 years. As for the better visa . . . I switched from my OA to a 10 year pensioner LTR visa.

Is the income requirement for Thailand's wealthy pensioner LTR visa $80,000 gross or net?

Marty *********

That sounds like it might be correct. I was switching from an OA to an LTR so I already had the insurance and still have it. Another option is having $100,000 in a bank account anywhere.

Is the income requirement for Thailand's wealthy pensioner LTR visa $80,000 gross or net?

Marty *********

Yes it is best to contact them. I have a pensioner LTR. It is 80k gross before taxes.

You can submit an application and you don’t pay unless you are approved first.
