Can Irish woman arrive VOA and convert to retirement extension when age 50

[RubbaJohnny]

49 years now, says already has one millions thai baths  in sole name in Kasikorn bank Bangkok bank now.

She will be over 50 jan 22 when she enters

Q!

can she enter and apply for retirement the cash will have been 3 months in bank but is it 3 months from entry stamp please? When I did mine first time just needed bank book and proof of International transfer from bank.

 

Q2 is also  there any health insurances needed before or on entry for the retirement visa? In addition to amy compulsary Covid insurances for all foreigners , she has no Thai PR nor the local social security and plans to by private health insurance if retirement granted for a year

Since she has bank account and funds in place she can enter visa exempt.

Obtain non O retirement. 

Only needs 800k in bank on day of application.

That non O gives her a 90 day permit of stay.

In last 30 days of that apply for extension.

Easy.

She will need 50k covid insurance coverage for 30 days. Covered in many threads. That's the only insurance required.

She will also require an onward flight. Options around that also covered in threads.

Since she is Irish she does not qualify for a 15 day visa on arrival. She will get a 30 day visa exempt entry.

Airport immigration does not issue visas or extensions.

It can only be done at the designated immigration office where she is living.

No. And not necessary.

The visa exempt gives 30 day stamp. 

She can chill and go to immigration prior to that 30 day expiry.

To obtain non O based on retirement it's all done same day. 

Then she has 90 day stamp and can apply for 12 month extension after couple of months.

Again done same day. 

Which immigration office does she plan to use? Not essential but if someone has definite plans to live in certain province then good idea to obtain the non O and extension there.
