When renewing a retirement visa in Thailand, you must consistently show either 800,000 THB in a Thai bank account, a monthly income of at least 65,000 THB, or a combination of both. The funds must be in a Thai bank account and seasoned for three months prior to renewal, except for the first application which is valid for only 60 days.
