ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry concerns the eligibility for a retirement visa in Thailand, specifically whether transferring 1 million baht annually satisfies the monthly income requirement of 65,000 baht. Responses clarified that for the first year, an 800,000 baht deposit is required in a Thai bank account. After the first year, one can opt for the monthly income requirement provided there is an income affidavit from the embassy. However, interpretations of the rules may vary by immigration office, with some requiring proof of monthly transfers regardless of how the funds reach Thailand.
