Retirement Visa in Thailand

Retirement Visa with SiamConsult

1. Consultation & Eligibility Check

We start with a friendly chat about your retirement visa plans. We check your age—50 or older is required—and confirm your nationality is eligible.

We explain the differences between the O-A (for most retirees) and O (for those already in Thailand or married to a Thai national) visa types.

You’ll get answers to any questions, big or small. See the official Thai Immigration Handbook.

2. Document Checklist & Preparation

We provide you with a clear, easy-to-follow checklist. You’ll know exactly what’s needed—passport, passport-sized photos, police clearance, medical certificate, proof of financial support, and health insurance.

We explain how to get documents translated, notarized, or legalized when required. If you get stuck or have doubts, just ask.

We review every document for completeness, so your application goes smoothly.

3. Thai Bank Account & Financial Proof

Retirement visa applicants must show financial stability. We walk you through opening a Thai bank account if you don’t have one already.

We explain the minimum balance (for O-A, usually 800,000 THB deposit or 65,000 THB monthly income).

We help you get the right statements and official bank letters, so there are no surprises at Immigration.

4. Health Insurance Arrangements

Health insurance is now required for most retirement visas. We help you choose a policy that meets the latest requirements—minimum coverage for outpatient and inpatient care.

We make sure you get the correct certificate to include with your application. If you already have a policy, we’ll review it to see if it qualifies.

5. Application Submission

We assemble all your documents in order and complete every form. If you are applying from abroad, we guide you through the submission at a Thai consulate or embassy.

If you’re in Thailand, we handle your submission at the local Immigration office.
We prepare you for any questions or extra paperwork, so you feel confident every step of the way.

6. Progress Updates & Approval

Once your application is submitted, we monitor the process and update you regularly. If Immigration needs more information, we help you respond quickly.

You’ll never be left wondering what’s next—SiamConsult is always one step ahead.

7. Visa Issuance & Arrival

Once approved, we guide you through collecting your visa and planning your arrival in Thailand.

We explain what to expect at Immigration on arrival, how to register your address, and how to settle into your new life.

Our team is ready to answer practical questions about housing, banking, and living in Thailand.

8. Ongoing Support & 90-Day Reporting

Staying legal is easy with our ongoing support.
Every 90 days, you must report your address to Thai Immigration—we’ll remind you and help you file online or in person.

For official 90-day reporting info, visit the Krabi Immigration Homepage.

We support you with annual visa extensions, health insurance renewals, and any changes in your situation.
