Retirement Visa

[Soi7 1]

Thanks for all the contributions on this topic, which has been confusing in the past. Tony, if the 3 million baht requirement is true for persons under the age of 50, then all I need to do is have $75K US in a Thai bank account each year when I apply and then renew, and I can get and maintain a retirement visa. That means I can retire in Pattaya about 3 years earlier than I expected (age 47). Am I missing something?

 

Leave your money in the US where you will make some interest and apply for the 1 year Non Imm O visa thru the Denver Consual Many have done that and Jan in Denver said no problem in getting them back to back then when you turn 50 transfer the 800,000 baht and convert your 1 year non Imm O to a retirement Visa here in Thailand very easy to do here.

I also have my retirement visa and it was based on monthly income. I do not have to show any transfering to Thai banks. Something to keep in mind is that you can have a combination of income and bank account if your pension is not enough. For example, If you had a pension income of 37,500 per month and a bank account of 400000 baht you would qualify.

 

In Bangkok, even though I was qualified on the income side, they also wanted to see that I had a bank account here and what the balance was. It didn,t matter what was in there(go figure!). I got a letter from Bangkok bank for this.
