I’ve read and watched several videos about retirement visa requirements. The Thailand government website says either 800k baht or meet the monthly income requirement. One video says I’d have to do both meet the monthly requirement and $800k baht. I’m sure someone here has some actual experience. Why I don’t like Google for answers . Multi answers.

I have a question in relation to the 65,000 pm deposit for a Non O retirement Visa .... for the 2nd yearly renewal.

First is it correct that the deposit method is only avaliabile where your Embassy will not verify your pension .... which I understand is Australia, USA and the UK?

If that is correct what happens if your nationality is not one of those countries but you have lived and are a permanent resident of one .... ie a New Zealander that has lived and worked in Australia for 25 plus years whose bank accounts, driver licence, tax, investments etc are all in Australia.

I realise no one other than Hua Hin immigration can give a definitive answer but ......?

Thanks in advance 🤗

Dear group, I want to apply for a retirement visa in Thailand and I am going to Bangkok and Pattaya from March to May and I think it is the easiest way to hire a visa agent in Pattaya to arrange this. what is your opinion on this. thanks in advance for your opinion. the problem is that when applying for the pension visa, the question is asked where I will live and I have not arranged that yet, so I cannot get any further in the visa application. I have no problem with the 800,000 bath. so income enough. I also have to find out the tax rules from a Thai lawyer and will therefore not stay in Thailand for more than 180 days. in connection with having my own house that has been paid off in the Netherlands. many thanks for your thoughts. I appreciate this very much 🙏

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 trying to figure out the best way to retire and live in Thailand 6 months and US 6 months. If I get a retirement visa, can I avoid the deposit 800,000 baht deposit without depositing my SSA check directly in a Thai bank? Suggestions?

We are moving to Thailand end of November start of December then i want to apply for a NON-O visa.

I'm over 50 and married to a Thai wife and we have a house in Don Muang yet i'm not yet registered at this address.

So i asked the Dutch Embassy for Visa Support Letter for registration and my question is can i use

this letter as affidavit of proof of income as this visa support letter will state my nationality and my income and that way i not need to deposit 800K THB.

thanks for any advice in advance

I get confused in my search, for the perfect visa, to be almost constantly in my preferred Thailand.

Some websites say.

800.000 in the bank AND 65.000 income?

Other say.

800.000 in the bank OR 65.000 income?

My problem is.

I have sufficient money in my Belgian bank. But it's all invested. It gets free to use in almost 2 years.

If I would take it out now. I would lose a lot of money. And I would lose money again, by exchanging it to Thai bath and wiring it to a Thai bank. But if a monthly income of 65.000 THB (1735€ at this moment) is sufficient. Then I can apply for the retirement visa.

.

* I am 64. So that's over 50.

* I have a valid foreign (Belgium) passport.

* I can easily find a residence in Thailand and presenting a 6-month lease (I can rent in the hotel I always stay)

* Because my monthly income before taxes is over 65.000 THB it should be easy to get the letter from the embassy proving of sufficient income.

* The “Police Clearance Certificate” I guess, is a certificate of Belgium police of no criminal record. So that’s also no problem.

* Medical certificate. I guess it’s medical certificate of having non contagious illness. Also no problem to get.

* Proof of health insurance Thailand. I don’t know if my Belgium health insurance is sufficient. If not I can always get one specially for Thailand.

.

So my one and only problem is.

What is required?

800.000 ‘AND’ 65.000

or

is it 800.000 ‘OR’ 65.000?

I obtained my initial 90 day non o retirement visa based on an income affidavit from the Canadian consulate on Friday in Chiang Mai. The officer told me to return in 60 days to do my one year extension. She said nothing about transferring 65000 each month. Is the transfer required? And is the transfer every 30 days or each calendar month? Since there is only one week left in June

can I get a non-0 retirement Visa based on 80000baht income, monthly?

thank you

Is anyone aware of being able to get a non imm o visa based on marriage without having to have 400,000 thb in their account? I transfer money every month into my Thai account so I’m hoping to use this method.

Thanks for any help 🙏
