. I don’t have a bank account in Thailand. I got a verification letter from the Canadian Embassy. I just showed them my pension statements. CPP & Work pension. I got documents from my landlord. I filled out the application for extension based on retirement. (Did that beforehand). Went to immigration (Kohn Kean). It took about 45 minutes and I was done. It was easy peasy. No need to have bank account. It really is that simple. Stop looking at any other options. It’s too messy.

Ty Bobby. I think he’s making it more difficult for himself than what needs to be.

. Don’t overthink it. You’re making it more difficult for yourself. Come in on a 30 day and apply for a an extension based on retirement. Bring your pension papers with you. Make an appointment with the Canadian Embassy to get a verification letter of your pension. This is to show you make over $65 K Bhat a month. It will cost you $50.00 Go to Thailand immigration and fill out the application. You’ll also need something from your landlord. It will cost you $1,900.00 Bhat. If you want to get multiple entry. Get it when you leave Thailand.

You don’t need to have 800 K in bank. There’s no requirement for health insurance but it’s a good idea to have some. I did everything myself. If I can do it. Anybody can. You’re lucky that you come from Canada because Canada is one of the few countries that issue the verification letter. USA, Australia, UK don’t issue them.

come in on a tourist then you can apply for an extension based on retirement. If you make over $65 k Bhat a month. Make an appointment with the Canadian Embassy for a verification letter. You do not need $800 K in bank or a medical.

That’s what I did.
