Everyone,

Can you get a "90-non immigrantion Visa" for retirement in Cambodia or Laos at the Thai Embassy? If so what is the process. Do they have single and multiple entry? Do I have to show a Income Affidavit from U.S. Embassy? Do I get it then come to Thailand and extend after the 90 days? I am new to this so sorry for the stupid questions.

How can I meet Thai Immigration Requirements for monthly income if I get my income in one lump sum.

For example: If I got $100,000 (a random number) income in March 2016 can I use this to meet the Thai monthly Income requirements.

I think the U.S. Embassy doesn't care but Thai Immigration may require me to show proof. Will they except a bank statement that shows the $100,000 (a random number) was deposited.

Can this be done and how do I go about doing it. Would a letter from my Accountant satisfy Thai Immigration monthly income requirement.

When I show proof of Income in Laos and Cambodia are they as strict? I read somewhere that in Laos they are satisfied with just the affidavit but it was old post.

Will they accept a savings account with a large sum of money in it? Let's say over one million. (random number again) I don't want the 5 year privilege visa or whatever it's called because I don't know if I will stay that long.

Can I setup a bank account then start paying my self their monthly income requirement for a couple of months and then show them this.

Once you set this up do you have to show Thai Immigration monthly income verification every time you do an extension or is it just the first time?

This is all new to me so trying to understand.

Thanks for your help

You can easily get a single entry non-o visa for being 50 or over in Vientiane Laos. You can show the income affidavit form the embassy or a Thai bank book showing 800k baht in the bank.

You could use the income affidavit to apply for the one year extension without question at most immigration offices. If they ask for back up proof you could use a bank book from a Thai bank showing regular transfers (monthly not needed) into it for past few months for the first extension. And then over the past year for the next one.

There is also the 800k baht in a Thai bank for 60 days for the first extension and then 3 months after that option.
