[@markredshaw84]

Thanks for posting this video. It's the best one I've seen explaining the retirement visa process. Is it the same process every 12 months to renew the visa?

[@THAILANDEASY_]

Yes, it is. Thank you for your feedback. And if you have some feedback when you apply, would be great if you share it

[@PATThaiA]

[@THAILANDEASY_]

Cool! Thank you for that my friend

[@Acpremium76]

Thanks for this video! Very helpful! If my spouse and I plan on taking the Non-O visa route, will 800k Thai Baht in a single bank account with both our names work? Or, do we need 2 separate bank accounts? TIA! :)

[@THAILANDEASY_]

Glad it was helpful! You have to have 2 separate bank accounts

[@KeilikoGreg]

Hi - thanks for this great information. How do you get a verification of no criminal record? And, if you have a driving while intoxicated conviction from 20 years ago, is that a problem?

[@THAILANDEASY_]

Hi. You should check with your local government institutions I believe

[@classicaronsson7285]

The best way to do it.Talk to immigration.

[@THAILANDEASY_]

you are right here

[@bmli3350]

who wants to go through all these for 2 years stay ? with 3 months extant-ion 9 months is all I can handle in Thailand

[@THAILANDEASY_]

it's not that bad while you did it once

[@airchanthaboury9005]

Hi Edward, Great video. I have Non-O Visa with multi re-entry which expired 11/9/24. Q1. Can I buy just 1 way air ticket back to Thailand? Q2. What to expect in term of Stamp (Departing date?) into my passport at the airport immigration? Thank you.

[@THAILANDEASY_]

Hello. Sorry for the late reply 1. They might ask you for the return ticket 2. So you are coming as a tourist, right? Holders of normal passports of the 64 countries are granted visa-free travel to Thailand for a period of up to 30 days. Or you can apply for 2 months tourist visa in Your country

[@PaulJagger]

Does any of your advice change for a couple seeking a retirement visa or is it the same? For example, if the bank account is in both names would the balance need to be twice the amount and/or would the monthly income be calculated at twice the amount?

[@THAILANDEASY_]

It should be a personal account as far as I know. Please, note, I can't give any legal advise on that. You should check with the immigration in your case

[@dominicoreilly3433]

I''ve been working in Thailand for 20 years and will retire sooner than later as I'm in my twilight years. As I'm new to all this I'm bombarded online with the notion that I must pay anything up to 50, 000 baht for an agency to help me with the retirement visa application. My colleague says doing it myself is very easy but I'm still nervous that I will screw it up.

[@THAILANDEASY_]

hello. Start with depositing money to a Thai bank account 2 months prior the application or check with your embassy if they can provide you the affidavit verifying the income. that's the most complicated part)))

[@dominicoreilly3433]

​@@THAILANDEASY_l've lived here for 20 yesrs so funds alresdy in bank

[@user-oe7gc5py4c]

So US citizen goes to US embassy ask for an affidavit, correct? So I can keep my $ in America, correct? Can I ask hotel help me proof of address without rental agreement? Can I get ED visa first then apply for O visa later without leaving the country?

[@THAILANDEASY_]

yes, you ask for an affidavit from the US embassy - in this case you keep your $ in America, correct. I'm not sure if hotel will work, unless you will make with them a long-term agreement for at least 1 year. Can I get ED visa first then apply for O visa later without leaving the country? - need to check with the local immigration office

[@user-oe7gc5py4c]

Found this information, are you sure affidavit is still working? FACT SHEET: EVIDENCE OF INCOME FOR LONG-STAY VISAS Beginning January 1, 2019, the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok and the U.S. Consulate General in Chiang Mai will no longer provide the income affidavit and will not notarize previous versions of the income affidavit. @@THAILANDEASY_

[@GarrettBM]

Thank you for the video and information! Quick question, please.... I have a wife that is my dependant. How does that work with the retirement visa? You said I nee to show 65,000 Thai baht income for me, but then do I need to show another 65,000 for her too? Or is there another amount? Or? Thank you in advance!!

[@THAILANDEASY_]

Good day, the same rule applies for your wife too

[@nh67796]

I thought the tourist visa was different than the 90 day visa and you can only apply for the non O visa with a 90 visa and not the tourist visa? Are you saying get a tourist visa, then apply for a 90 day visa, then apply for a non O visa? Why not apply for the 90 days visa in your home country? Doesn't a tourist visa require a round trip ticket?

[@THAILANDEASY_]

You can apply while on a tourist visa, yes. Doesn't a tourist visa require a round trip ticket? - if you plan to apply for your Retirement Visa - book the return ticket that can be refunded

[@nh67796]

@@THAILANDEASY_ Thanks great information on the process and the different visa requirements between the O and O-A retirement visas.

[@linnhtetaung736]

when a person live in thailand with non O visa, he or she can take along with his or her spouse and family.

[@THAILANDEASY_]

as far as I know you can apply for NON-IMMIGRANT VISA-O (SPOUSE/DEPENDENT) - I'm not offering any service so you better check with the immigration office

[@RM360CR]

and on top of everything the bank account has to be on your name only not with a wife incase something happens to you b

[@THAILANDEASY_]

indeed. thank you for your comment

[@christopherlaw9184]

Good video. Hope you can advise us. I just did the contact form.

[@THAILANDEASY_]

waiting for your feedback for this lawyer firm please

[@timfisher5417]

If I open a bank account and put 800,000 in, but decide after 1 year that Thailand isn’t for me is it easy to get the money out?

[@THAILANDEASY_]

Sure. Just withdraw it - no issues

[@mujibsiddiqui1998]

what about couples retirement??

[@THAILANDEASY_]

Do you mean get one retirement and one follow up visa?

[@ChrisBird1]

800,000 in UK account applying in the UK ? the enter Thailand for 1 year with NO 90 days reporting ,Couldn't I spend the 800,000 and repeat that process a year later whilst in the UK ? So really I never need the 800,000 in a Thai Bank .

[@THAILANDEASY_]

you don't in this case

[@janhansen6195]

why stay in a country like Thailand that has this flip-flop system at all? If your an exspat you do not need all this stress and hassel right? l did live in Thailand for many years and l had a good pension from my home country and all of this went into Thailand, and in most of EU there are rules like I have to pay full tax the first year after I have moved out of Norway, then I only pay 15% tax afterwards. And I have to open a bank account in the country I'm moving to in order to have my pension paid there with tax relief, if I keep my Norwegian bank account and choose to withdraw my pension in Norway then yes I have to pay full tax which is much higher and I lose a lot of money on this, so here you can forget about everyone who has the same system as us and this applies to most people in Europe also so l got smart and l move to the philippines and it was totaly diffrent, no hassel at all, no stress with visa and no tax at all, so why stay in Thailand at all. l did go to the Philippines and it was 10 times better, no stress and hassel with visa no tax, and this is what you want as an exspat

[@THAILANDEASY_]

Because Thailand is lovely)) simple is that) nice and kind people is my choice

[@redstrom_edm]

Good info but my god it seems over complicated to be in Thailand. Why can't they do it like here at the US Mexican border. Let people in illegally, arrest them, then release into the various cities indefinitely. Of course I'm being a smart a** 😁

[@THAILANDEASY_]

hahahah enter Thailand by tail boats ))
