Do I need to have my retirement visa financial requirement in a Thai bank account or can I use UK bank statements?

To obtain a retirement visa in Thailand, the financial requirement must be met by having 800,000 baht deposited in a Thai bank account in your name for at least 60 days prior to application. Alternatively, you can provide a notarized statement from your consulate confirming a monthly income of 65,000 baht. UK bank statements cannot be used as proof for this requirement.
