novster Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Currently on an education visa extension and turn 50 later in the year before the 12 month education visa finishes. Am I right in thinking that if I transfer THB800,000 into a Thai bank account 2 months before my 50th birthday then I will be able to convert my education visa to a 12 month retirement visa 2 months later or do I need to apply for a 3 month retirement visa first? Is there anything else I need to prepare in advance? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 You can change the reason for your extension of stay (it is not a visa) from attending a school to retirement. You will need a letter from the school stating the last day you will be attending classes to cancel the extension. The 800k baht will need to be in the bank for 2 months on the day you apply for the new extension. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
