French retirees moving to Phuket need to prepare specific documents related to CNAV pensions and consular registration. Understanding the French paperwork requirements for Thai Immigration is key to a smooth process.
Specifics for French Nationals
- Pension Proof. Statements from CNAV (Caisse Nationale d'Assurance Vieillesse) or Agirc-Arrco must be properly translated and sometimes certified by the French Embassy in Bangkok.
- Police Record. For the Non-O-A visa, a "Casier Judiciaire" (Bulletin n°3) is required.
- Consular Registration. Registering with the French consulate is highly recommended for administrative ease while living in Thailand.
Notice: If using the income method, ensure your French pension documents are officially translated into English or Thai before submission to Phuket Immigration.
