Thailand is renowned worldwide as a top retirement destination, offering a unique blend of vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, world-class healthcare, and an affordable cost of living.

A crucial part of this process is ensuring all your supporting documents are accurately translated and certified to meet the strict requirements of Thai Immigration. That's where we come in.
Understanding the Main Thai Retirement Visas
There are two primary long-stay visas for retirees. Understanding which one is right for you is key.
Non-Immigrant "O-A" Visa (1-Year)
This is the most common retirement visa, allowing for a one-year, renewable stay. It's ideal for those who meet the financial requirements and wish to make Thailand their home base.
- Age Requirement: 50 years or older.
- Financial Requirement: A deposit of at least 800,000 THB in a Thai bank account OR a monthly income/pension of at least 65,000 THB.
Non-Immigrant "O-X" Visa (10-Year)
This is a longer-term visa for retirees from a select list of countries. It allows for an initial 5-year stay, renewable for another 5 years, providing greater long-term security.
- Age Requirement: 50 years or older.
- Financial Requirement: A deposit of at least 3,000,000 THB in a Thai bank account.
What Documents Need Translation for a Retirement Visa?
Any official document not originally in English or Thai must be professionally translated and certified. Our experts specialize in the following critical documents:
Financial Evidence
Bank letters or statements from your home country used to prove your savings or income must be translated accurately to demonstrate you meet the financial requirements.
Pension Statements
If you are using your monthly pension to meet the income requirement, your official pension statements must be translated for the immigration officer to verify the amount and source.
Police Clearance Certificate
A criminal background check from your country of citizenship or permanent residence is required. We provide certified translations accepted by Thai authorities.
