Thailand Retirement Visa: A Step by Step Guide 🇹🇭

[@DiscoverCiaoMondo]

Nice you have an an English-speaking person explaining. Sometimes it is difficult understanding the words Thai use to explain. That made video so easy to watch and understand.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Yeah, she is great!

[@jackbear4528]

So glad you had them come on...it helped seeing the steps.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Yeah, they did a much better job than I would have been able to do.

[@hildejohnson8780]

That's a lot of good information to know thanks for sharing that with us sorry if I'm behind on videos I'm catching up slowly so stay safe be careful over there and have a good rest of your week and have a great weekend 💜💜🙏🙏🤠🤠

[@30AndAWakeUp]

No worries, Hilde! :) Enjoy your weekend as well.

[@writeronthestormkyushu565]

On this excellent video alone, I just subscribed to your channel. Thank you so much, Kevin.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Awesome, thank you!

[@larryreadout4275]

Thank you for the concise explanation of the visa process. One thing I haven't seen discussed is medical insurance. I am on Medicare with a zero premium Advantage plan. It has global coverage with $120 co-pay but I have to pay any medical bills myself and submit for reimbursement. If I move to Thailand I'm not sure Medicare will cover me. At 72 years old, I'm guessing that private insurance in Thailand would be expensive but I don't have any quotes yet. Would like to hear what others have experienced.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

there are a couple youtube channels that have vids on this…i think blue cross is the provider

[@AlaiaHARTWELL]

I am very grateful for your video and the angels at HH Premium Visa Consulting. This video will allow people to apply for a Retirement Visa in Thailand with more ease and grace.

Isn’t there a retirement option of just have the revenue coming into your account monthly that avoids the bank deposit issue?

[@30AndAWakeUp]

yeah, there is

[@jamiepitts6235]

why do these videos outlining the process for a non O visa applied for in Thailand, never mention the option to demonstrate $65,000 baht income per month, rather than having the $800K in the bank?

[@30AndAWakeUp]

good point

[@ThailandEliteSpecialist]

Hi Jamie, yes, it may be possible, but not for everyone. This is not an option for all nationalities because some Embassies will not issue an Affadavit verifying income. There are a lot of details and exceptions, so for videos, I try to make it as clear as possible by sharing what all people can do. Dealings with Immigration vary case by case, especially depending on the nationality and province where they apply

[@30AndAWakeUp]

@@ThailandEliteSpecialist Thanks Haley!

[@bojanljubonjic5571]

@@ThailandEliteSpecialist .....What is the case with American Embassy....do they issue Affadavit for income

[@Paul_R1206]

@@bojanljubonjic5571From my understanding the US Embassy doesn’t.

[@practice2025x]

the 800k baht do not need to be deposited if you have proof of income from your home country (c. $1800 month)

[@30AndAWakeUp]

🙏

[@expat8460]

I though that another option was if you were receiving pension monthly insteand of the 800K THB in a bank.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

I think so. Their contact info is in the description. They'd be able to give you up to date info.

[@tomm.6265]

Make sure u look around for your agent have a friend in pattaya who has a really good agent and the fees are alot more reasonable than quoted here

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Appreciate the comment.

[@ronmexico9631]

This video excludes the option of showing proof of pension (or regular income) of at least 65,000 baht per month.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

it's becoming more difficult to do that

[@ronmexico9631]

@@30AndAWakeUp I believe in 2019, 3 or 4 countries stopped doing embassy letters on proof of income but to the best of my knowledge, there are other sources-letters from the bank and pension sources and proof the money has been going in-my pension will even deposit into a foreign bank account if I wish. You can even break it up---like having 32,500 per month and only 400,000 baht in the bank.

In case of death, since retirement visa requires to use a Thai Bank, how do retiree's families claim the money from that Thai bank account to retiree's original country as per his/her will?

The process in this video started with the retiree already in Thailand. So what if I'm still in my own country ( Canada)? Do I just get a 60 days tourist visa to land in Thailand? What's the very first step from my own country? And don't I also need a proof of health insurance to qualify for a retirement visa? Thank you.

I was wondering 🤔 with the retirement visa and the aforementioned criteria you can bring your wife and one child with you only ? What if you have 2 or 3 kids ? Does it cost more ? Because in the official web pages they don't mention anything like Children but a dependent child.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Check out Hailey's channel.

[@jay1970]

Thanks for the explanation. I don't understand step2 (obtain residency certificate) which is before getting non-o retirement (step 6). At step 2, what would be my status and how can I get residency certificate? Does it mean I enter Thailand as a visitor, find apartment and establish residency even before applying non o 3 month visa? What happens to lease if my non-o 3 months visa is denied? Also what would be the fund requirements for a couple? 1600000 thb?

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Please check the description below and contact them directly. I'd be guessing if I tried to answer.

After the 270 days/9 months are up, I know you have to leave Thailand. My question is...At that point can i just make a bus run to Maylasia and come in on a tourist 30 day visa free. and worry about extensions once i get back in, or do you have to be out of Thailand for a certain amount of time after the 270 days/9 months????

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Not sure. I know you used to be able to do that.

[@yellowstonegaming]

So Kev, what happens after the 1 year extension? Do you keep extending till you get residency?

[@30AndAWakeUp]

it's a 20 year visa...you get 1 year stamp on entry that you have to go renew every year until your visa runs out. if you leave the country before the one year stamp expires and you come back in...you just get a new 1 year stamp...
