TLDR : Answer Summary

The question is about eligibility for a DTV visa at the age of 37 with some early retirement pension and income from renting properties. The comments clarify that retirement status or passive income alone does not qualify one for a DTV visa. Instead, eligibility may depend on demonstrating remote work or involvement in 'soft power' activities within Thailand. Specifically, managing rental properties actively and providing evidence of such management might support an application.

says, (i have just applied also re property rentals) I believe you must work/manage the properties yourself and be able to demonstrate this with how you communicate with clients builders etc and show invoices, if managed by someone else your just receiving an income..

Thomas Tohnan passive income could help to show how you can support yourself if asked during a soft power application. If you manage your rental properties remotely you could use this as the basis for the workation option but if someone else does this you can't

Being retired is not a qualification for DTV, neither is "receiving income" from an investment.

You qualify through remote work, or through a soft power activity inside of Thailand.
