Joseph Stembridge's blog ::House Buying in Thailand










Over               the               years               I've               been               living               in               Thailand,               I've               met               many               western               expats               who               have               retired               here.

Thailand               is               a               much               cheaper               place               to               live               and               retiring               here               is               easy.

That               will               give               you               plenty               of               time               to               apply               for               the               retirement               visa               once               you               get               to               Thailand.

               You               must               also               have               with               you               your               bank               book               from               your               Thai               bank,               a               medical               exam               (which               you               can               get               at               any               hospital               for               as               low               as               100               baht),               and               three               4x5               centimeter               photos               with               a               white               or               blue               background               (make               sure               you               dress               nicely               for               these               photos               too,               as               appearance               is               very               important               in               Thailand).
               Where               to               Apply               For               the               One-Year               Retirement               Visa               in               Thailand               -               You               will               need               to               take               all               this               paperwork               down               to               either               a               law               office               in               Thailand               or               to               the               main               immigration               office               in               the               area               of               Thailand               you're               living               in.

You               can               apply               for               the               retirement               visa               (non               immigrant               O)               yourself               but,               honestly,               I               recommend               you               do               it               through               a               law               office,               as               they               do               know               what               they're               doing.

Thailand               also               is               very               fluid               in               how               it               grants               retirement               visas,               so               one               minor               mistake               can               cause               you               to               be               denied               the               visa.

Most               legal               offices               charge               less               than               $600               to               take               care               of               all               filing               all               the               paperwork               and               dealing               with               immigration.

You,               then,               will               only               have               to               go               to               the               immigration               office               once               when               you               pick               up               your               retirement               visa               which,               in               my               mind,               is               well               worth               the               $600.
               Retirement               Visas               in               Thailand               Are               Renewable               Every               Year               -               Unlike               many               other               countries,               Thailand               does               not               make               getting               a               retirement               visa               a               permanent               thing.

Once               you               have               one,               it's               only               valid               for               one               year               and               then               you'll               have               to               get               it               renewed               (submitting               all               the               paperwork               again).

So,               again,               better               to               go               with               a               law               firm               and               they               can               take               care               of               the               renewal               too.
               Getting               a               retirement               visa               (non               immigrant               O)               in               Thailand               sounds               like               a               hassle               and,               yes,               it               can               be.

Overall               though,               living               in               Thailand               you               get               used               to               the               annoyance               of               having               to               get               visas               every               year               (even               while               wondering               why               the               government               is               so               backward               on               how               they               issue               visas!).

Even               with               the               hassles               of               getting               a               visa               though,               it's               worth               it,               as               most               people               I               know               don't               regret               retiring               in               Thailand               for               a               second               and               I               doubt               you               will               either.

Happy               Retirement.
