Five-Year Retirement Visa in Thailand

Five-Year Retirement Visa With SiamConsult

1. Consultation & Eligibility Check

We begin with a friendly conversation. You tell us your retirement plans and your nationality.
We verify your age to ensure you meet the five-year visa criteria. The O-X visa is available to citizens of certain countries, and you must be age 50 or older. We explain all the rules and answer your questions about long-term retirement in Thailand. See Thai Immigration.

2. Document Checklist & Preparation

You receive a clear checklist from us. We walk you through each required item—your passport, recent photos, a criminal background check, and a medical certificate. We explain what proof of funds you’ll need and how to get official translations or notary stamps, if necessary.
If you’re unsure about a step, please don’t hesitate to ask. We review every document to avoid mistakes or delays.

3. Thai Bank Account & Financial Proof

One of the key requirements for the O-X visa is proof of sufficient financial resources.
You must show either a significant deposit in a Thai bank account or enough monthly income.
We guide you through opening the correct account, transferring funds, and getting the proper paperwork from your bank.
We ensure that the financial proof meets immigration requirements.

4. Health Insurance Arrangements

The O-X visa requires approved health insurance with specific minimum coverage.
We help you choose a qualifying policy from a trusted provider and secure the correct certificate for your application.
If you already have a policy, we review it to confirm it meets the rules.

5. Application Completion & Submission

We assemble your application, organize all your paperwork, and fill out every form for you.
We help you choose the right place to apply—either at a Thai embassy or consulate in your home country, or at Thai Immigration in Thailand if eligible.
We book appointments and prepare you for any possible interview. If extra documents are requested, we help you provide them quickly.

6. Progress Updates & Approval

You never have to wonder what’s happening. We track the status of your application and keep you informed about every stage.
If Immigration contacts us for additional information or a follow-up, we handle it on your behalf.
As soon as your visa is approved, we will walk you through the following steps.

7. Visa Issuance & Arriving in Thailand

When your O-X Retirement Visa is approved, you’ll receive a five-year stamp in your passport.
We explain all arrival procedures, such as how to present your paperwork at the airport, or what to expect at Immigration in Thailand.
We give you tips for settling in, opening local accounts, and getting comfortable in your new home.

8. Ongoing Support & 90-Day Reporting

With an O-X Retirement Visa, you are required to report your address to Immigration every 90 days.
We remind you of each deadline and can assist you in filing the report online or in person.
If you need help with visa renewals, re-entry permits, or updating your health insurance, we are always here for you, even years after your arrival.
