Can I apply for a non-O retirement visa upon entering Thailand on a 60-day visa exemption if I have the required funds in my bank account?

Brook ********

this was true in the past. I believe it was an exception made during Covid. I don’t think it’s available any more.

Best to arrive on a 90 day Non O (NOT OA) from your home country.

Then, with 45 days remaining, extend one year based on retirement.

What are the requirements for obtaining a retirement visa in Thailand as a Canadian expat?

Brook ********

You should probably hire a competent, reputable agent for your first attempt.

Copy or photograph all the forms so you can renew it yourself next time.

It should cost no more than ฿15,000 THB all in, including a multiple re-entry permit and all other fees. it will be initially valid for 90 days. Then, you renew it annually.

Of course your landlord didn’t file a TM30, because they don’t have a hotel license and Air B&B’s are illegal.

They didn’t want the government to know they have an illegal business and don’t pay taxes.
