67 years old and married to a Thai national you have no problems mate. You’re in if you don’t want to do the paperwork spend 5 to 10,000 baht with a Visa company.. if you can’t afford that you probably shouldn’t be looking at living in Thailand

Hi mate, retirement age in Thailand is 50 years old. Income is 800,000 baht per year on retirement Visa if married to a Thai born woman it is 450,000 baht per year.

@Greg **********

if you want to live in Thailand as an expat it’s easier now than ever just apply for the right Visa and pay what is required by the immigration system. It’s not hard.

@Greg **********

you are correct and have to do the immigration system as per the Thai government requirement

@Greg **********

l will transition from a retirement Visa to a marriage Visa with my Thai wife which has a lower threshold of income. It is very easy to live in Thailand if you follow the immigration laws however sometimes they are under the interpretation of the immigration officer you deal with. If you do everything correctly, the immigration officers are fantastic and more than willing to help real people. They want to live in Thailand for the betterment of Thailand.

yes l had all requirements for a retirement Visa in Thailand proof of earnings from overseas a bank account a drivers license and proof of residence. Sometimes it is hard for people under retirement age to provide all this information but now in Thailand they have given us so many options are special for people under retirement age.

Before l got my retirement Visa last year I did the 60 days then the 30 day extension and flew to Vietnam for a week and return to Bangkok and was given a very hard time about a 60 day non-Visa entry and they said they would not issue another one. It all depends on the immigration agent that you get., however with all the new Visa options they are really starting to crack down on border runs and 60 day re-entry

Sorry drunk but you know what I’m saying
