My Brother wants to Retire in Thailand(and wants to apply in Thailand).


Recommended Posts

It depends on where he's flying out of and which airline (I'll let the onward ticket experts comment).

 

I suggest he applies for a non-imm O Retirement visa in his home country. The application only requires you to enter a flight in and out within the 90 days but you don't need to show an actual ticket.

 

Arriving with a non-imm O means he can immediately apply for a bank account to deposit his 800k baht. If he arrives on visa exempt he likely can't open a bank account without paying an agent to do it (about 4500 baht)

 

Once his 800k baht is in his bank account for 2 months he can apply for the 12 month extension of stay for 1900 baht.

Uk passport.  Thanks for quick reply

You did not mention if he has Thai bank account.

Regardless best option would be obtain the non O retirement while he is UK

That is done online eVisa OR

He can visa exempt and obtain non O at his immigration office and subsequent 12 month extension 

This attached thread outlines the process.
