What are the financial requirements for a Thailand retirement visa, specifically for the Non-O and Non-OA visa categories?

@Frank *********

, yes, the 3 M THB is for the OX while the 800k and 65k per month are two options for O and OA.

@Hathaway ************

Bank the 800k and leave alone.

Then during the same year keep depositing 65K+ monthly. (12 deposits)

Come renewal time you will have evidence to either remain on the 800k deposit or change to the monthly route to justify your first extension.

The choice is yours.

You will earn practically no interest on your 800k so it's probably better to reinvest that elsewhere if you choose the income route.

So by the 12 months of the 1st year you bank will hold 800k + 12x65k is that right?

@Hathaway ************

800k in 2 months before the date you apply for the 1 yr extension. Leave it there for 3 months after, then it CANNOT drop below 400k for the full year. You can switch to the 65k income route BUT in the first year the above rules apply. So you must have 65k transferred into your Thai bank account every month for 12 consecutive months in order to apply for second yr extension. Bank statements must be provided to show your account did not drop below 400k and all deposits were at least 65k to get the second year. Miss a payment or go under 65k or delays due to month ends/ holidays means your second extension will not go ahead
