Hi, I am reviewing the requirement's for a retirement visa. It mentions that you need to have THB 800,000 in a Thai Bank Account. It also mentions a monthly income of at least THB 65,000. So, if I have the required amount in a Thai Bank account do I still need to have a monthly income of THB 65,000 when applying for a retirement visa?
TLDR : Answer Summary
For a retirement visa in Thailand, you can either maintain a minimum of THB 800,000 in a Thai bank account for at least 2 months before applying or have a monthly income of THB 65,000. It is not necessary to provide both; you can choose one of the two options to meet the requirements. However, if you are from a country whose embassy does not issue income affidavits, you must show that you have been transferring the required income amount into your Thai bank account each month for the previous 12 months.
