Key information you need to know :

If you’re planning to retire in Thailand, there are a number of practical details you need to take care of before you leave.

First of all, let’s look at one of the most important: obtaining a Thai retirement visa.

Thai retirement visa

The Thai government has introduced a special visa for retirees: a one-year renewable visa, subject to financial resources of at least €1,700 per month or a Thai bank account credited with the equivalent of €21,000. Visa applicants must be at least 50 years old.

A variant of this visa is available for a renewable five-year period, at a higher cost.
