ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
Owning a condo in Thailand does not make it easier to obtain a retirement visa. The primary requirements for a retirement visa focus on financial resources rather than property ownership. Some users mentioned that while owning property might ease certain administrative processes, such as registering with immigration or obtaining a bank account, it is not a necessity for the visa application itself. The key factor remains having the necessary financial proof, specifically maintaining at least 800,000 THB in a bank account for a specified period.
