O-a Retirement Visa

Featured Replies

In monday's Bangkok Post an artical said that you must have Baht 800,000 in a Thai bank AND Baht 65,000/month in income to renew or obtain this visa. Not long ago it was "OR" not "AND". Has there been a change?

The "and/or" confusion has been discussed on this forum several times. I believe the consensus was the standard answer when it comes to Thai immigration rules:

Your mileage may vary, depending on the Immigration Office, and/or the Immigration Officer.

This is the official statement on the MFA website for O-A visa:

A copy of bank statement showing a deposit at the amount equal to not less than 800,000 Baht or an income certificate (an original copy) with a monthly income of not less than 65,000 Baht, or a deposit account plus a monthy income totalling not less than 800,000 Baht. 

Note that years ago the immigration sites listed the English word "and" rather than "or" but that was corrected long ago.

The words AND and OR are very similar in Thai.

The words AND and OR are very similar in Thai.

AND และ or กับ.........OR หรือ or รึ

Similarities ???????????
