Can I skip the 800,000 Baht requirement for a retirement visa in Thailand if I have proof of income from a government retirement?

The discussion revolves around whether individuals receiving government retirement income can bypass the 800,000 Baht deposit requirement for a Thailand retirement visa. It is confirmed that proof of income might allow for an exemption from this rule, but the specifics depend on documentation provided by the embassy or other authorities. There is mention of Belgium's potential lack of income verification documentation.
