RETIREMENT VISA IN PATTAYA

Get A Thai Retirement Visa in Pattaya

A retirement visa is issued to applicants aged 50 years or above wishing to take take up residence in Pattaya for at least one year. As the name suggests, a retirement visa (“O-A” Long Stay) does not entitle the holder to engage in any form of work.

Pattaya is a popular place to come to retire and many westerners are moving to Pattaya each year to spend their retirement years to enjoy the amazing Thai culture & people, reasonable cost of living and beautiful country side. If you are over 50 years of age you may qualify for a retirement visa which will allow you to stay in Thailand without leaving the country.

What you need to know about the “Thai Retirement Visa”

A retirement visa as it is commonly known doesn’t really exist. Instead it is actually a non immigrant O visa that is extended for 1 year on the basis of retirement. That said, it is normally referred to as a retirement visa so for this explanation that is what we will call it!

Thai Visa Requirements

  • Passport (at least one year remaining before expiration)
  • Proof of Funds:- Security deposit of THB 800,000 in a Thai Bank Account for 2 months prior to the visa application or monthly income or pension of at least THB 65,000, proof of this will be required.
  • Combination of the above consolidating you Thai bank account and yearly income to the total of 800,000 THB.

If you receive an income or pension, this has to be verified by your consulate. To do this you either go in person or send by post the relevant documents showing your income and they will give you a stamped document for immigration. Pattaya Immigration keep the original of this document so you need to make a new one every year. The reason being pensions and increase and income can change.
