ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) is not strictly available to retirees; applicants must meet requirements related to remote work or participating in soft power activities like cultural courses, medical treatments, or martial arts. Since you have the necessary income and savings, consider the 'Medical Soft Power' route, which involves setting up a treatment plan with a healthcare provider in Thailand. It's advised to research the embassy's specific requirements, as some may end up with a METV (Multiple Entry Tourist Visa) instead.
