Known for affordable living and sunny weather, Thailand is becoming a popular retirement destination for British expats. However, financial considerations like taxes and visas should be taken into account.
Applicants for a ten-year Long Term Residents visa need an annual pension or steady passive income of around £65,600. If income is less, investment in Thai property or direct foreign investment of around $250,000 might be necessary.
Retirees must have comprehensive health insurance to be granted a Thai visa.
Popular areas for settling include Bangkok, Phuket, and Chiang Mai.
