This group is very helpful. Please confirm that for the 800,000 Thai bank requirement a combination of pension + bank deposit totaling 800,000 for the year is acceptable. Thanks.
Answer summary
The community suggests checking with local immigration offices for their specific acceptance of pension and bank deposit combinations for the 800,000 THB requirement for a Thai visa. Some offices may accept a combination, while others may only consider the bank deposit. It's crucial to confirm these details with local immigration authorities, as regulations can differ. In addition, the funds may need to remain in the bank for a specified period around the time of the visa application.

As advised, speak to the local immigration for what they will/can accept, many that will accept monthly transfers want to see them happening over 1 year, not in big chunks and if your using wise I believe there is a proper reason code to choose, something like long term stay in a foreign country, I do know it's important to use the right code for it to be accepted, also if your local immigration do want the 800k in the bank check how long before and after the visa application they need to see it still, most I think want it in bank 2 months before and 2 months after, and also check if your allowed to use some if required, some say no must remain 800k for life of visa and some allowance down to 400k but must go back to 800k before renewal

pretty much nonsense from start to finish I’m afraid. You confuse financial requirements for a non O with the financial requirements for an extension of stay.

I'm afraid I wasn't clear. My plant is to begin with a non-o visa and then go for a retirement visa. My question was about deposit requirement for a retirement visa.

You would have to ask the Office you are applying to. Some accept a combination some don't.

You would need to check with your immigration office. Some accept combination method, some do not.

But unless your embassy issues income verification (many do not), you cannot use your pension for the first year. You would only be able to use 800,000 in the bank.
