Retired Visa to Thailand.

Retire in Thailand

A step-by-step Guide

Thailand’s majestic landscape, formed by its rich foliage and scenic beaches make for a very relaxing and soothing environment one could live in forever. It’s not surprising that foreigners find themselves enchanted and wanting to spend their retirement days in this breathtaking piece of tropical paradise. If you are interested to do the same, applying for a retirement visa in Thailand would be the first step to take. Listed below are the requirements.

How to Obtain a Retirement Visa in Thailand:

STEP 1: OBTAIN A NON-IMMIGRANT “O” VISA

Requirements:

Passport (at least one year remaining before expiration)

You must be holding nationality or permanent residence of the country of application

Proof of Funds

STEP 2: OBTAIN A ONE-YEAR RETIREMENT VISA EXTENSION

Requirements:

Must be 50 years old and above.

Passport (signed copies of each page)

Non-Immigrant O Visa

Departure Card TM.6

Proof of meeting Financial Requirements

Thai Bank Book (original)

Letter from your Thai Bank

Three (3) 4×5 cm photos, with full face taken.

STEP 3: OBTAINING A RE-ENTRY PERMIT

Most people misunderstand the different concepts of “Extension of Stay” and “Re-entry Permit”. Sometimes mistaken for each other, you must understand that these are two different things, both of which you would need during your stay.

The Extension of Stay is simply the controlling date. Everything else is dependent on this. Everything is invalidated when your Extension of Stay expires. On the other hand, the Re-entry Permit’s validity is subject to the validity of your Extension of Stay. However, leaving Thailand without a re-entry permit automatically invalidates your extension of stay.

STEP 4: REPORTING YOUR STAY EVERY 90 DAYS and VISA EXPIRATION

You are required to report to the Immigration Police every 90 days if you are on a long-term extension of stay. Persons holding a multiple entry visa will simply depart Thailand and renew their extension of stay after each 90-day entry.

If you cannot obtain your extension inside Thailand, you will have to get a new non-immigrant visa from a Thai Embassy or Consulate abroad.

Meeting the Financial Requirements for a Retirement Visa:

Financial Requirements are as follows:

Thai Bank Account showing THB 800,000 or

Monthly income of at least THB 65,000 (income affidavit from your embassy in Bangkok) or

Combination (Bank Account + Annual Income = THB 800,000)
