Do I need a state pension to qualify for a 90 Day retirement visa in Thailand while applying from Australia?

Inquiries about the 90 Day retirement visa for Thailand indicate that a state pension is not necessary for Australian applicants. Although the online application specifies that applicants should be pensioners aged 50 or above, those who can demonstrate sufficient financial means, such as having 800,000 THB, are eligible to apply even without a pension. Responses from community members suggest verifying requirements through the embassy's website and ensuring proper submission of bank balance documentation.
