TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion explores the possibility of obtaining a retirement visa (NON-O) in Thailand without the 800,000 THB requirement in a bank account. The main points include: 1) If the applicant can demonstrate a steady income of at least 65,000 THB per month, it may be possible to avoid the 800,000 THB requirement initially by obtaining a NON-O visa before applying for a year-long extension. 2) Various agents and consultants are suggested as options to assist with the visa process, and some experiences suggest that financial requirements may be bypassed using these services. 3) There are different rules for NON-O and NON-OA visas, especially regarding income and health insurance. 4) Many users advise against reliance solely on agents due to potential issues during renewal processes in terms of meeting financial requirements.
