I have a retirement visa. Had the 800,000 baht in my Thai bank. Building a home and it has gone below 400,000 baht.

My renewal is due in March 2026.

I have today transferred 400,000 baht to top up my Thai account.

Will there be any repercussions for letting it go below 400,000 baht?

I have searched and am unable to find any reference to maintaining a bank balance of 400,000 baht.

Thanks.

Probably asked a million times but lm wanting retirement visa NON O was told there's a NON OA visa. No 800k in the bank is it true and advantages of both?

We are married. For a retirement visa, do we both need to have 800k in a Thai bank (1600 total) or will 800k be sufficient for both of us. What are options if we don’t have the 1600k but want to stay for a year? TIA.

Hi

For Thai retirement visa do you need both a Thai bank account showing deposit amount of a minimum of THB 800,000 And a

Monthly income of at least THB 65,000 or do you only need to meet 1 of these requirements? I've read conflicting guidelines online.

Thanks

I’m on a non O based on retirement exp 7/7/25 I got it in Phetchabun using the 65k p/m route. We are in Kohl’s Pha-ngan on holiday and flying to Vietnam in a couple of weeks so thought I’d go to the immi here to get a single re entry. The officer here refused it saying I need to show financial statements? I tried explaining the previous but he said boss wants to see bank statements. This can’t be right surely ?

So, the retirement visa requires two months of having 800k in the bank before switching to monthly income, instead,

How about the marriage visa? Does it also mandate two prior months of money in the bank, or can one start out with monthly income?

Also, does the address you use with your Thai bank need to match the address of your non-O visa?

Thanks in advance for your replies!

I am trying to come to Thailand from the USA in January with my Thai wife, my 20 year old daughter, and my American mother.

My mother is 82 years old and I am hearing it may be impossible to get health insurance for her. Is there a way around the requirement she have health insurance for the retirement visa.

Could we do a living with Thai family visa? Would that receive the requirement? Is there a good around through an agent?

Thanks for your help as I am concerned we may have to abandon the whole thing.

DO you have to have 800,000 in a Thai bank account plus the income stream or is it, you have one or the other?

Ive been sending the 65KTHB was required monthly (from US) in order to get the 800K bunked back after the first year - which cycles around mid-January 2025.

It sure seems like many people have written to be incoming the same day every month or very close (and once it was 5 days from that) or very likely rejected - ie I wouldn’t be able to drop the requirement of keeping 800K after a year - is that true?

Also that they want to see it as looking like a pension amount - regularly deposited and sent out - and sometimes I put it in in several deposits the same day (like 35K + 10K + 20K) simply because Wise wouldn’t allow the whole 65K to go through at once except several days later.

So that also makes me wonder about the likelihood of them making me keep the 800K in another year
