Retirement Visa in Phuket
If you are 50 or older and want to settle in Phuket, a retirement-based stay (Non-Immigrant O or O-A, then a one-year extension) is the usual route. We make the requirements clear and get your paperwork ready.
Who it's for
Retirement-based stays are for foreigners aged 50+ who want to live in Thailand long-term without working. Most people enter on a Non-O or O-A visa and then apply for a one-year extension of stay at Phuket Immigration.
What you generally need
- Passport and the correct entry visa (Non-O / O-A)
- Proof of the required funds (Thai bank deposit, monthly income, or a combination)
- TM30 address notification
- Supporting forms and photos for the extension
Financial rules vary and are updated from time to time. We confirm the current amounts and how to season your funds before you apply.
How we help
We check whether you meet the conditions, plan the timeline (visa first, extension later), prepare your bank and document evidence, and guide you through the Phuket Immigration appointment.
After your retirement extension
Once approved, you stay compliant with a 90-day report and, if you travel, a re-entry permit. We can help with all of it so your long stay stays clean.
