Free visa tools for Pattaya and Thailand long-stay planning
These calculators and checklists were built for one purpose: helping you arrive at Jomtien Immigration or your Thai consulate with the right numbers and the right paperwork. Thailand's long-stay visa system has multiple parallel tracks — Non-O retirement, Non-O marriage, DTV, LTR, ED, Non-B — each with its own financial thresholds, document standards, and renewal timelines. A wrong assumption costs you a queue number and another wasted morning in Soi 5.
Every tool on this page reflects Thai Immigration rules as of 2026. We update thresholds and document lists when policy changes — the last significant shifts were the DTV launch in mid-2024 and updated LTR income proof requirements in early 2025.
What each tool does
- Visa Finder — answers "which visa fits my situation?" across all major long-stay categories.
- Eligibility Checker — maps your age, income, marital status, and activity to the visas you currently qualify for.
- Income Test — checks whether your pension, salary, or investment income meets Non-O retirement and marriage thresholds.
- Bank Balance Checker — models seasoning scenarios for the ฿800,000 and ฿400,000 deposit requirements.
- Cost Calculator — totals all-in visa cost over your chosen years — government fees, extensions, insurance, and amortised multi-year visas.
- Document Checklist — generates a printable checklist for your specific visa type and situation.
- Expiry Countdown — tracks your visa expiry and 90-day report deadline simultaneously.
- Reminder — schedules email or browser alerts before your extension and 90-day deadlines.
- Currency Converter — converts pensions and salaries into Thai Baht at live rates to check against income thresholds.
How to use these tools effectively
Start with the Visa Finder if you are new to Thai long-stay visas. It narrows the field and links you to the relevant deep-dive pages under /visas/. Once you know your target visa, run the income test or bank checker to confirm you meet the financial floor, then generate your document checklist to prepare your application pack.
If you already hold a visa and are planning an extension, go straight to the Expiry Countdown and set a reminder. The most common mistake in Pattaya is focusing on the extension date and forgetting the 90-day TM47 report — the countdown tracks both.
When tool results need professional confirmation
These tools calculate against published Immigration thresholds. They cannot account for officer discretion, consulate-specific interpretations, or recent unpublished policy shifts. Before committing to a visa strategy — especially switching from tourist to Non-O, or deciding between DTV and Non-O retirement — use the tool output as a starting brief, then verify with a licensed agent or our free 15-minute consultation.
