Thailand is one of the most interesting and affordable places in the world to think about retiring. Has the thought of spending your golden years in Thailand crossed your mind, but you are unsure of how to actually put that retirement plan in motion? Here we highlight a few facts to help encourage your decision to retire in Thailand.
Why Choose Phuket?
For years, the tropical island of Phuket in southern Thailand has been one of the world’s top locations for expats to look for retirement living. Phuket has a lot to offer. The cost of living on the island is affordable and Phuket offers most of the same benefits and luxuries one might find at home.
Choosing to make Phuket your retirement home is a wise decision. The island is vibrant and you can choose to live out your golden years with as much excitement or relaxation as you need. Phuket has excitement and adventure, but it also has rejuvenation and tranquility.
Thailand Retirement Visa
Obtaining a retirement visa to legally live and retire in Phuket is a relatively easy and affordable experience. It is possible to apply both within Thailand or from your home country. However, there are some detailed requirements and processes to go through before applying. While it’s always best to check with a local Thai embassy, some of the obvious requirements are highlighted below:
- Must be 50 years of age or over
- Applicant not previously prohibited from entering the Kingdom
- Having no criminal record in Thailand or in the country of his/her nationality, or the country of his/her residence
- Applicant to not have prohibitive diseases
- Applicant must have at least 18 months validity on current passport
Although the paperwork to obtain a retirement visa in Thailand can seem overwhelming, once it is organized and the process is underway, it does not take too long. In addition, the immigration offices in Phuket are helpful and willing to answer any questions about retiring on the island.
