djdubuque Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Can I apply for a retirement visa if I'm still working? I meet the funds requirement of 800K Baht as my monthly income 217K Baht right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Provided you are working outside Thailand and not in Thailand, there is no problem whatsoever in your applying for an extension of permission to stay due to retirement. It is just a name. The important thing is that you are not working in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The requirement is 800,000BHT deposit in a Thai bank for 2 months prior to the date of a first application, 3 months for subsequent applications. OR An income of 65,000BHT per month transferred into a Thai bank from overseas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you want a retirement visa? What benefits does it give? If you're outside Thailand it depends on your employer if they will allow you to work remotely from Thailand. @Tanoshi has already posted financial requirements for long-stay extension.

DrJack54 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) Don't think that stating monthly income in baht means he is being paid in baht and working in thailand. As pointed out in earlier posts...your all good as long as not working in Thailand while on permission of stay based on retirement.

djdubuque Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 No not working in Thailand, just asking as I would eventually retire there. I currently go in and out every 6 months on R&R and have a TG that I stay with when there. She currently travels with me and stays in the country where I work.
