Description of application conditions for retired immigrants in Thailand in 2020

There are many ethnic immigrant projects in Thailand, including retired immigrants from Thailand. Then let's talk about the application conditions for retired immigrants in Thailand in 2020. Come and have a look, I hope it will help you.

Foreigners who have invested at least 40 million baht (equivalent to 8.02 million yuan) in Thailand and have invested for at least 5 years can obtain a residence permit in Thailand. Investments can be government bonds, funds and designated areas. At present, there is no relevant policy for buying a house to live in, and you can also obtain a residence permit through buying a house. The types of real estate that can be purchased are: townhouses, buildings and apartments. However, due to the high capital requirements for investment immigrants in Thailand, domestic applicants pay more attention to Thai pension visas.

In Thailand, foreigners who are over 50 years old and have certain financial ability can apply for a Thai pension visa (retirement visa). The old-age visa is signed once a year, and the holder can freely enter and leave Thailand many times during the validity period.

Two months before applying for a Thai pension visa, you must have a Thai bank account and proof of funds to prove that the account has at least 800,000 baht, or at least 65,000 baht of pension income every month, before you are eligible to apply for a Thai pension visa (retirement visa).

You are already a resident of Thailand after applying for an old-age visa, but you must report to the nearest immigration office every 90 days to confirm whether you still live in Thailand and whether it is safe. If you want to renew your pension visa, you need to go to the immigration office within one week before the expiration date.

Unlike Malaysia, Thailand's neighboring country, which requires the freezing of funds, 800,000 baht in the bank account can be withdrawn at any time after the issuance of the pension visa in Thailand. Thai pension visa holders can't work in Thailand, but they can do business and invest.

Foreigners under the age of 50 can still stay in Thailand for a long time very easily. Ordinary tourist visas can stay in Thailand for 60 days at a time, and then they can be extended for 30 days at a time. For China people who have lived in Thailand for a long time and rarely leave Thailand, they can choose to study Thai or other languages in a language school and get a one-year study visa. The tuition fee is about 5,000 RMB. If you only need a visa and don't attend classes, it's about 2000 RMB.
