Nice you have an an English-speaking person explaining. Sometimes it is difficult understanding the words Thai use to explain. That made video so easy to watch and understand.
That's a lot of good information to know thanks for sharing that with us sorry if I'm behind on videos I'm catching up slowly so stay safe be careful over there and have a good rest of your week and have a great weekend 💜💜🙏🙏🤠🤠
I am very grateful for your video and the angels at HH Premium Visa Consulting. This video will allow people to apply for a Retirement Visa in Thailand with more ease and grace.
Thank you for the concise explanation of the visa process. One thing I haven't seen discussed is medical insurance. I am on Medicare with a zero premium Advantage plan. It has global coverage with $120 co-pay but I have to pay any medical bills myself and submit for reimbursement. If I move to Thailand I'm not sure Medicare will cover me. At 72 years old, I'm guessing that private insurance in Thailand would be expensive but I don't have any quotes yet. Would like to hear what others have experienced.
I own my condo where I live in Bangkok, therefore I do not have a 1 year lease agreement - what housing ownership document is needed for a Retirement Visa.
In case of death, since retirement visa requires to use a Thai Bank, how do retiree's families claim the money from that Thai bank account to retiree's original country as per his/her will?
why do these videos outlining the process for a non O visa applied for in Thailand, never mention the option to demonstrate $65,000 baht income per month, rather than having the $800K in the bank?
Hi Jamie, yes, it may be possible, but not for everyone. This is not an option for all nationalities because some Embassies will not issue an Affadavit verifying income. There are a lot of details and exceptions, so for videos, I try to make it as clear as possible by sharing what all people can do. Dealings with Immigration vary case by case, especially depending on the nationality and province where they apply
The process in this video started with the retiree already in Thailand. So what if I'm still in my own country ( Canada)? Do I just get a 60 days tourist visa to land in Thailand? What's the very first step from my own country? And don't I also need a proof of health insurance to qualify for a retirement visa? Thank you.
@@30AndAWakeUp no problems here. Peaceful and quiet if you stay away from the tourist spots. But the island is way bigger than most people can imagine.
it's a 20 year visa...you get 1 year stamp on entry that you have to go renew every year until your visa runs out. if you leave the country before the one year stamp expires and you come back in...you just get a new 1 year stamp...
@@30AndAWakeUp oh so you just have to leave the country once every year for the 20 year duration..iv seen other people ask this but the question is for how long must you leave.. but yeah thanks for the info
I was wondering 🤔 with the retirement visa and the aforementioned criteria you can bring your wife and one child with you only ? What if you have 2 or 3 kids ? Does it cost more ? Because in the official web pages they don't mention anything like Children but a dependent child.
Thanks for the explanation. I don't understand step2 (obtain residency certificate) which is before getting non-o retirement (step 6). At step 2, what would be my status and how can I get residency certificate? Does it mean I enter Thailand as a visitor, find apartment and establish residency even before applying non o 3 month visa? What happens to lease if my non-o 3 months visa is denied? Also what would be the fund requirements for a couple? 1600000 thb?
Visa Angels indeed! Very informative. The assistance of an agent seems well worth the cost, and is a small percentage of the overall money needed for the visa. I’ll be eligible very soon hahahahaha. But Thailand is pretty far to bring a big dog. Good for future reference! Thanks, Hailey, Sammie, and Kevin.
@@30AndAWakeUp I believe in 2019, 3 or 4 countries stopped doing embassy letters on proof of income but to the best of my knowledge, there are other sources-letters from the bank and pension sources and proof the money has been going in-my pension will even deposit into a foreign bank account if I wish. You can even break it up---like having 32,500 per month and only 400,000 baht in the bank.
After the 270 days/9 months are up, I know you have to leave Thailand. My question is...At that point can i just make a bus run to Maylasia and come in on a tourist 30 day visa free. and worry about extensions once i get back in, or do you have to be out of Thailand for a certain amount of time after the 270 days/9 months????
Hi Hailey & Sammie, Great video. I would like to use your service as I want to apply for 1 year Non-O visa soon 2023. Just want to know how much in Thai (Bahts) for the whole process?
@@30AndAWakeUp can we apply for retirement visa after arrive? 800,000 bhat in the bank must show Fram time of few months? Some agents say no. For the first time apply for O visa
I'm going to be retiring at the end of next year after I turn 40 years old. Do you recommend applying for a retirement visa if I only plan to stay in Thailand 6 months out of the year?
Nice you have an an English-speaking person explaining. Sometimes it is difficult understanding the words Thai use to explain. That made video so easy to watch and understand.

the 800k baht do not need to be deposited if you have proof of income from your home country (c. $1800 month)
🙏
I just stumbled across your videos. First impression - very informative.
Awesome, thank you!
Useful information👌 Thanks Kevin and HH Premium Visas😊
You bet!
Isn’t there a retirement option of just have the revenue coming into your account monthly that avoids the bank deposit issue?
yeah, there is
@@30AndAWakeUpfunny they don’t mention that🫤
As always thanks for sharing some great information!👍See ya soon, and take care!!🌅🌁

@@ThailandEliteSpecialist .....What is the case with American Embassy....do they issue Affadavit for income
@@bojanljubonjic5571From my understanding the US Embassy doesn’t.
When you get your initial 3 months visa, can you travel outside Thailand?
yes but your visa will reset

The people in this vid can actually help anywhere in Thailand
any chance of doing a step by step of renewing an OA retirement visa...
Check out Hailey's channel.
I though that another option was if you were receiving pension monthly insteand of the 800K THB in a bank.
I think so. Their contact info is in the description. They'd be able to give you up to date info.
Thanks bro.
No problem, brother! Hope island life is treating you well!

How many times I can extend using tourist visa?
up to 90 days usually

This video excludes the option of showing proof of pension (or regular income) of at least 65,000 baht per month.
it's becoming more difficult to do that

That was interesting. Using an agent to navigate the process would seem to be well worth the fee.
Definitely! thanks for watching!
Can you do an evisa from the US to Thailand?
Not sure...never tried. It changes so often. Usually it's best to just come into country on a tourist visa and convert into another visa.
Thank you

Is that 80,000 per person or couple?
check out their website and email.....I just hosted their vid to put out the info :)
I thought the Oa retirement visa was for one year , and Ox 5 years . Confused
reach out to them...the'll be able to help
Can we apply for a retirement visa after we arrive?
Yes you can, but I'd send that message to Hailey on her youtube channel...she's much more knowledgeable than I.
@@30AndAWakeUp can we apply for retirement visa after arrive? 800,000 bhat in the bank must show Fram time of few months? Some agents say no. For the first time apply for O visa

Gota love Hailey!
Yeah, she's awesome.
One thing I can never get an answer to is how to transfer or put 800,000 baht from my American account to my new Thailand bank account
From what I understand, most folks use Wise
Sir, your ladies only covered the O Visa, there's more than one type of Visa there. You only focused on one type.
yes, the vid was just an entry level vid
Enjoyed your post do you have Sammie and Hailey contact information? I would like to use their services. Thanks
Yeah, it's in video description.
I'm going to be retiring at the end of next year after I turn 40 years old. Do you recommend applying for a retirement visa if I only plan to stay in Thailand 6 months out of the year?
i dont know enough about that kind of stuff. Reach out to the lady in this vid. Her contact info is in the video description.
You need to be 50 for retirement visa ,maybe better opting for 6 month tourist visa
No mention of the the possibility of proving 65,000 baht monthly income rather then having 800000 tied up in a Thai bank account
true
Sammie is such a cute lady!! 😊
:)
Bottom line, hire Hailey and it will be a smooth process:-)
yeah, she is great
Retire in 1 year? :D I think of retirement as at least 30 years.
Understand for sure.
Can u send,their contact details pls
It's down in the vid notes.
$1500 for a visa? 555
different strokes for different folks...for some that's a lot of money...for other's it's nothing. got to get the visa that fits your life.
I just watched a video that was $2k so the range is wide.
