How to Apply For Thailand Retirement Visa in the UK

Thai Embassy offers Non-immigrant Visa "O-A" (Long Stay) for retirees
intending to reside in Thailand. The holder of a visa under this
category may take advantage of some unique benefits offered specially
for retiring in Thailand.The "O-A" visa serves as an entry visa
(single or multiple entry). The allowable period of stay is for up to
a year and may even be extended after a year of stay. The spouse may
also be authorized to accompany the retiree in Thailand. The embassy
may grant in favor of the retiree's spouse a Non-Immigrant "O"
dependent visa.Visa Eligibility RequirementsThe conditions to be
complied with to have the "O-A" visa is as follows:
· at least 50 years of age
· not been in conflict with the law of Thailand, country of your
nationality and country of permanent residence · not suffering nor
had been previously inflicted with a contagious disease
· no intention and permit to work
· Annual pension income equivalent to at least THB 65,000.00 monthly
income or THB 800,000.00 in Thai baht in a Thai bank.




Thai Retirement Visa Application ProcedureThe process for the application
is commenced through the submission of application to the Royal Thai
Embassy in London or the Royal Thai Consulates in Hull, Liverpool, and
Birmingham.The application can be done personally or through a Thailand
visa agency. However, if the applicant will apply within Thailand the
rules are less strict as opposed to apply within a Thai Embassy outside of
the Kingdom.Along with the application form, the applicant must have a
passport with at least 12 months validity on the applying date. Recent
passport size photographs are also necessary. As supporting documents, a
copy of bank statement and criminal record must also be produced (if
applying outside of Thailand). It is recommended to first apply for a 90
day non-immigrant visa outside of Thailand and then extend it to a one
year "O-A" type visa within Thailand at the Thai Immigration office. This
eliminates the need for a comprehensive medical exam and criminal records
check from your local police. The financial requirements and documents
from your pension or bank accounts are most important in the application
process. These are essential to the approval of the visa by the Thai
consular office and will serve as a basis for the issuance of the Thai
Retirement Visa.




Upon receipt of the retirement visa for Thailand, the holder is already
allowed to travel to Thailand and request for entry at the Thai
Immigration checkpoint. The visa does not promise entry. The immigration
inspector at the port of entry has the final say on the matter. He shall
first determine the holder's eligibility to be admitted. If allowed entry,
the initial period granted to the holder is normally up to 90 days. It may
subsequently extended by the Office of Thai Immigration Bureau.
