Can I use a foreign bank account for the Thai retirement visa income requirement and apply for it while in Thailand?

To qualify for a retirement visa (Non-O) in Thailand, the monthly income must be deposited into a Thai bank account, not a foreign account. Specifically, you need a minimum of 65,000 THB monthly as proof through the bank's records, along with a year's bank statement. While you can apply for the Non-O visa while already in Thailand, you must have 800,000 THB in your Thai account for at least two months prior to your application. Note that some embassies no longer provide income affidavits, and it's important that all income transfers occur monthly without skips for eligibility.
