Retirees aged 50 and above who wish to apply for a retirement visa from their country. The required visa type is the Non-Immigrant O-A visa.
Previously, the health insurance plan for the retirement visa type OA required coverage of USD 100,000 or 3 million baht, including coverage for COVID-19.
It goes into effect starting September 2024.
The new plan reduces inpatient insurance coverage from 3 million baht to 400,000 baht inpatient and outpatient insurance coverage to 40,000 baht.
The financial requirement remains the same: THB 800,000 (USD 23,000) in your home country bank account or THB 650,000 (USD 20,000) monthly income for the last 12 months.
You will be granted a one-year stay with a multiple entry permit.
You can either apply at Thai Consulate in your country in person or online. Or It's best to contact us for assistant in visa application process!
It's a very positive development for you who’s planning to retire here. You no longer need to pay for very high health insurance coverage; the decrease is significant. These new rules will come into effect from September onwards, making it the perfect time to relocate to Thailand by the end of the year.
We will surely update more information on this blog once we get information from government, if you have further question, contact us here.
"Very professional and very friendly. They are very acknowledge about Visa, Thailand etc."
"Recommend this company, they are very helpful!"
"The team at Baan smile were so professional the customer service was excellent. I first called to get help with extending my tourist visa. They were so honest on the phone they advised me if I wanted I could do extension myself and would only be 1,900 baht. I appreciated the honesty and advised that I prefer a company that has experience and would relieve my headache trying to figure on my own. The team took over and completed all necessary paperwork and got all my information from me that was needed. They scheduled a day to meet at Immigration and I was met by them. They walked me through process and it was so simple. I am happy to have met the team at BAAN SMILE. I will be calling them for all my needs and services in Thailand."
