Aldebaran1981 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Dear All, Should my parents decide to join me in LOS when they have retired, what would the procedures be? A few quick questions: 1) Is it east to apply and what documents are required to apply for retirement visa in LOS? They need to come in person or they can do so at the Thai Embassy in my country? 2) Will they be able to purchase property as well as cars/motorcycles under their own names? Thanks in advance for the replies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 The visa is applied for abroad. They normally need to show an income of 65,000 a month OR 800,000 in the bank. (At east one of them need to show this, but all depends on the consulate where one applies. They can buy a condo, but they can't buy land. Cars, motorcycles etc are no problem.

Maestro Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Depending on what type of extension of stay, if any, you have and on their age, your parents might qualify for an extension on that.

Aldebaran1981 Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 I understand that for them it's almost the same as an ed visa? 3 months and then apply for extension? How about after that one year? What happens after that? Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusMe Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Aldebaran, I know it's an incredibly onerous task, but you really should, having already been part of this forum for 100 posts, to spend some time reading through all the threads related to your fundamental inquiry.

ubonjoe Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 There is the option of applying for a OA long stay visa at an embassy or consulate that gives a multiple one year entries for a year.. But for a couple it is not a good option unless both can qualify for the OA visa by showing there own financial proof because the one that does not get the OA visa will only be able to get a multiple entry non-o visa and will have to leave the country every 90 days. The next option is to apply for a one year extension of stay here at immigration. If possible it is best for both of them to get single entry non-o visas before traveling. If only one applies for the extension the other can get a dependent extension of stay. The extensions can renewed every year for infinity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KED Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) Aldebaran, I know it's an incredibly onerous task, but you really should, having already been part of this forum for 100 posts, to spend some time reading through all the threads related to your fundamental inquiry. I must agree with JusMe, the basic requirements and options for a retirement visa issued abroad or an extension within Thailand based on retiremtent is covered in depth - search is your friend. Once you have done the research, if you have specific questions - then better to ask here - Edited June 18, 2014 by KED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
