Plizz vs the Alternatives
Why Ongoing Management Beats One-Off Filing
The OIC approved-insurer list changes annually. Policies that qualified last year may be removed. The deposit lock-up timeline is strictly enforced. Annual compliance is where most DIY renewals fail.
| Dimension | DIY / Direct Application | One-Time Visa Agent | Plizz |
|---|---|---|---|
| OIC insurer list verified each renewal | Not checked — auto-renewed with same broker | Not monitored after filing | Verified against current OIC list every renewal cycle |
| 3-month pre-filing deposit timing | Self-tracked; errors cause rejection | Not tracked after initial filing | Calendar managed; early alert if window is at risk |
| 12-month post-approval lock-up | Typically unknown to applicant | Not tracked | Tracked; withdrawal-risk windows flagged |
| LTR upgrade assessment | Not offered | Not offered | Proactive modelling when pension or assets approach LTR thresholds |
Who This Is For
Who Needs a Non-OA Retirement Visa?
Non-OA is for retirees age 50+ applying from outside Thailand who need a visa before arrival — distinct from the in-country Non-O Retirement Extension for those already inside Thailand.
- Foreign retirees age 50 or above who are applying for long-stay Thailand residence from their home country and need a visa-before-arrival solution
- International pensioners with THB 800,000 in accessible liquid assets OR THB 65,000/month in pension or investment income who prefer the lower Non-OA financial threshold over the LTR's USD 80,000 bar
- Retirees who plan to bring a spouse or dependent children under age 20 as co-applicants on the same financial documentation
- Older expats currently on a tourist visa inside Thailand who need an in-country retirement extension pathway and want professional guidance on the Non-O vs. Non-OA route
- Retirees planning to assess eventual LTR upgrade who want a single adviser managing both the current Non-OA and any future transition

Why Plizz
Why Choose Plizz for Your Retirement Visa
Non-OA compliance has two hidden traps: OIC insurance requirements that eliminate most international policies, and deposit lock-up timing that costs extensions when mismanaged. Plizz handles both as standard.
OIC-Compliant Insurance Sourced Each Renewal Cycle
The OIC approved-insurer list changes annually — some long-running expat-favoured policies were quietly removed in 2025. We verify your policy against the current list at every renewal cycle so you are never caught off-guard at extension time.
Deposit Timing and Lock-Up Tracked for You
Non-OA extensions require funds in a Thai bank for 3 months before filing and 12 months after. We manage the timeline and alert you before any banking action that would reset the clock.
Work Prohibition Guidance — What Is and Isn't Allowed
"Work" is broadly defined under Thai law — unpaid consulting, business management, and even volunteer work technically require a separate permit. We advise clearly on the boundary so you stay compliant without restricting your retirement lifestyle unnecessarily.
LTR Upgrade Planning Built In
If your pension income or assets grow past USD 80,000/year or USD 1M in assets, we proactively model your LTR Wealthy Pensioner eligibility — 10 years, no annual financial-proof renewal, lighter compliance.
