The retirement visa is a long-stay option for foreigners who have reached the age Thai immigration sets for this category. It’s issued for a year at a time: a first application, followed by yearly extensions for as long as you continue living in Thailand and meet the conditions.
Alongside the age requirement, there are financial requirements — typically shown either as a bank deposit held in Thailand or as regular income, and the exact current figures and acceptable formats are things we confirm with you directly, since they’re updated periodically. Beyond the initial paperwork, holding this visa comes with ongoing obligations: 90-day address reporting and re-entry permits if you travel, both of which we can handle for you.
How it works
- Initial consultation. We review your age, nationality and financial situation to confirm you qualify and outline which route — deposit or income — fits you best.
- Bank account and funds. Where needed, we help you open or manage the Thai bank account and get funds positioned correctly ahead of the application.
- Document preparation. We prepare and check the full paperwork set for your first application or renewal.
- Immigration visit. We accompany you to the immigration office and help you through the submission.
- Ongoing compliance. We handle your 90-day reports, arrange re-entry permits when you travel, and remind you ahead of each renewal date.

Good to know
Minimum age and financial requirements for this visa are set by Thai immigration and are periodically adjusted, so we always confirm the current figures with you before you commit to a particular route. We also flag anything unusual in your situation early, so the first application and every renewal after it go smoothly.
