Fantastic. Thanks again

Yes. The money has been for a very long time in a fixed account

I see. I didn't know that there were different requirements. How about Pattaya? I'm still deciding where to go and Pattaya is my other option

I was thinking to go to Samui. Do I need to provide a long term rent contract or is a short term/hotel contract enough until I find a place that I want to rent long term?

How long does the visa exempt stamp lasts? Can I immediately apply for the non O or shall I wait until the visa exempt stamp is about to expire?

One more question. If I get the single entry non O visa based on retirement, can I apply for the possibility to leave and re-entry the country with the same visa?

Fantastic!! Thanks again guys

Great, thank you Are you sure? Reading other posts in this forum I was under the impression that a medical insurance was mandatory.

I used to be married to a Thai lady and I have used that bank account to renew my non O based on marriage multiple times

Thank you all for the replies. Great. This is more convenient for me My Thai bank account is in my name only

Hi I'm an Italian national, over 50 years of age. I already have a Thai bank account with over 800k in it (I used to live in Thailand). I'd like to apply for a retirement visa. For what I understand reading this forum, I need a medical insurance approved by the government. Can anyone provide a link to a list of approved insurances? Do I have to apply for the visa from abroad or can I enter Thailand with an arrival stamp and ask the retirement visa at an immigration office? Thanks in advance for any help
