Why don’t you apply for the extension based on retirement? It’s a lot less of a hassle. You will need 800 K Thai Bhat in bank account.

What are the best visa options for retired parents looking to stay in Thailand for 4-5 months from Canada?

Philip **********

Go the extension based on retirement. Email the Canadian embassy for a verification letter of income. $50.00 If they make over 65 K Thai Bhat a month.

They can apply for the extension while in Thailand. They can do it themselves. 1900 Bhat for each extension.

Can I enter Thailand visa-exempt and later apply for a Non O Visa as a retiree?

Philip **********

Ask your embassy if they issue income verification letter. Canada does so I use that method of making over 65 K a month. It’s so much easier than letting 800 K sitting in a bank account doing nothing. My embassy charges $50 cad.

Oh and do everything yourself. It’s very easy to do. 1900 Bhat at Thailand Immigration

@Brian **********

How long do you want to stay here? It’s easier to come here on a visa exemption and then apply for an extension of stay based on retirement. Email the Canadian embassy for a verification letter of income. Costs $50.00 Apply for the extension here in Thailand yourself. 1900 Bhat. Super easy to do. No insurance required (but good to have).

Do everything yourself. It’s extremely easy. You can obtain a verification letter of income from the Canadian Embassy via email. Costs $50.

That way you don’t have 800 k in the bank doing nothing.

Come here first then apply for your extension based on retirement.
