Retirement Visa

One of the most well known types of visa is the retirement visa (also known as Immigrant or Non-Immigrant A Visa) which is extendable on a yearly basis. This is only applicable to individuals over the age of 50 who pass specific criminal, health and back-ground checks. 

There are some requirements in terms of proving you have enough funds to support yourself in Thailand during your stay. This will be in the form of either a regular monthly income (or pension) of over 65,000 THB or a lump-sum savings of 800K amount. 

Typically, you are required to produce proof from the bank deposit of 800,000 has been in there for a period of 2 months and for the monthly income you will need a letter from your embassy in Thailand confirming your monthly income.
