Thank you this is so helpful. Coming with 2 teenagers. I gonna share this video to Eric. We starting to sale our stuff here in Canada 😊
This is why I will be talking to an agent this year instead of asking Facebook or looking on google/youtube. There are so many contradictory answers.
Good idea!👍🏻😊
I used Assist Thai Visa and they are very good.
As always Tony, another master class from you on how to navigate and move to Chiang Mai, Thailand. Thank you. 😊
Thanks Rob!😊🙏🏻
Excellent info. Thank you, Tony!
My pleasure!😊🙏🏻🇹🇭
Great video!
Thanks!😊🙏🏻🇹🇭
Great info as usual. But its a sad fact that Thailand is a great place to travel and stay with lovely people everywhere but unfortunately with very poor visa options.
So true!
@@TheNarrowGate Maybe many people's wishes are coming true. Have you heard of the proposed DTV - Destination Thailand Visa
Thanks
Thank you so very much for supporting our channel, we really appreciate it!!! 😊🙏🏻🇹🇭
You are great 👍, my wife and I are in chiang mai now .I have had the best sleep since we arrived here .Wonderful people ,words can never say enough. THANK YOU for all your knowledge ,advice, videos ,and taking the time to inform people .
Welcome to Chiang Mai! And we are so glad that the videos have been helpful to you. Enjoy your time here!😊🇹🇭🙏🏻
Thumbs up 👍 Tony
Thanks 👍
🏮 🇹🇭 🎉 This is by far the most straightforward Q&A my husband & I have seen on Thailand Visas! 😊 Wow, the questions about health insurance & coming with my husband & not having to pay 💰 800,000 Baht as well, just all good information.
I will ask the question about how long is the retirement visa good for? Is this renewed yearly with the same 800,000 Baht in the bank? Who gets the interest %off it? If you don't mind sharing Tony, let us know, if you don't feel comfortable saying maybe a question for Assist Thai Visa. 😌 Thank you Tony & Thai Assist Visa & Kendall 😊because you are part of the channel too!
Thank you for watching and I'm so glad it was helpful. I would normally defer any visa-related questions to Assist Thai Visa since they have the most up to date rules. However with a retirement visa, it is good for one year at a time, then it gets extended for another year, etc. Yes, the 800,000 is needed in the bank for each extension and you would get the interest in your account from the bank.😎🇹🇭🙏🏻
@@TheNarrowGate Great video & really informative, however I am confused regarding the 800000 Baht, every site I have looked at states that for married retirees aged 50+ both individuals have to meet the financial requirements of either deposit or income rather than just one? Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed the video. As Rhys had mentioned in the video, for a couple only one person technically has to apply for the retirement visa and the other can be a ‘follower’ on that visa. So that’s why only 800,000 is needed in a Thai bank account with only the persons name on the account who holds the retirement visa. However if both apply for the retirement visa then yes, both people would need to have 800,000.
Hope this helps.
For more questions please reach out to Assist Thai Visa, details in the video description.
Thanks. 😊 🙏🏻🇹🇭
@@TheNarrowGate Tony & Kendall thanks again! To everyone else, the agency got back to me within 10 minutes after sending an inquiry! 😊
Hi Tony, thank you for this vlog. Lots of great information.
Do Assist Thai Visa only assist people moving to Chiang Mai or are they able to assist people who are moving to Bangkok? If they only assist people moving to Chiang Mai, would they have a recommendation for a reputable visa agent in BKK?
Thanks in advance from a couple of Aussies planning their future!
Glad you enjoyed the video. I’m sure if they are not able to help you, that they will be able to recommend a reputable visa agent in the Bangkok area.
Best wishes for planning your future move to Thailand!!! 🇹🇭 😎
This is very helpful and I did look at their website. The big question I cant seem to find an answer to: My husband and I want to move to Thailand and stay. ( from the US) I am 62 and my husband is 40, so that is another complication. Everything I have read says the OA - OX visas are only good for 10 years max. What happens after that? Do you reapply? Thank you again and I think we will meet with Assist when we come.
Use the link in the description to ask that question to the experts at Assist Thai Visa.
Explaining the difference between the O and OA options in a retired visa
Your best bet is to check in with Assist Thai Visa, they have the most up to date information with all visas. Here is their contact information which is also found in the video description. Website assistthaivisa.com/ Facebook facebook.com/assist.thai
@@TheNarrowGate thanks sir
With the new changes and the 60 day exemption plus a 30 day extension, would I still need a Tourist Visa or would the exemption be enough?
You would need to ask the expert. The link is in the description. They can answer it for you.
Can we get some clarification on a marriage visa please ? 🇦🇺🙏

When I went to Thailand I was only given the option of a thirty day visa. I can ask for a 60 day visa at immigration? I was told at the bank that I needed a one year visa to open an account. Also, should I have an FBI check done before I enter Thailand for my O-A visa?
Actually 60day visa on arrival depend on the country where you from .right now Immigration up date just for 30days or about 45 days and if you ask for more 30days that not good for your visa record because they will think you use the wrong visa. If you over 60 you can do retired visa but if want to do business that should submit business visa . Begin the right visa will be easy for you to renew visa for another year.
Best bet is to check with Rhys at Assist Thai Visa, he is the guy I interviewed. His contact information is in the description on the video. Rules are ever changing and he will be the most up to date on exactly what is needed at any point in time. And the advice doesn't cost you anything.
@@TheNarrowGate the best way to do visa in Thailand is check immigation website . all imformation their . not contact agent. agent do nothing. they alway ask you to papare your own doccument to support they business.
@@Bows-Trading-System many farang get the wrong visa because of wrong information from agent. and they think ask information to immigation is the wrong way. acually immigration they alway support and tell you what ducument you have to pepare
You can only get an OA visa in your home country through the Thai consulate in your home country. You would submit a criminal background check from your home country.
I want to relocate on a retirement visa but want to travel with my cat! Can I arrange travel for the cat on a tourist visa before the retirement visa is in place ? I can’t seem to find a definitive answer any help would be appreciated , thank you
Not sure about doing that on a tourist visa.
Is thai assist only for Chang Mai?
How about being over 60 and wish to start a business in Bangkok or Pattaya or Hua Hin? Which visa company is best for helping with that.
They are located in Chiang Mai, but they can answer visa-related questions for all of Thailand. I would start with them to see if they have any suggestions. Best of luck. Thanks for watching.😊🇹🇭
Where do you get a tourist visa
I'm not sure what country you are from, but here is information about the Tourist visa if you are from the United States. th.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/thai-visas-americans/
I don't think I heard the answer to my personal question. I'm in my 60s and I'd like to come to Thailand for between 6 months to a year. Is that considered a retirement Visa? Do I still have to get a Thai bank account with 8,000 Thai baht?
