Does pension income qualify for the DTV visa in Thailand if I'm not of retirement age?
Hi everyone, I’m researching the DTV visa and had a quick question. I’m a U.S. veteran receiving a monthly pension, but I’m not retirement age yet. Does pension income qualify for DTV purposes, or is employment/remote work required?
If any veterans or expats have gone through this, I’d appreciate your insight. Thanks!

There is no income requirement. You must have 500K in savings and probably be able to demonstrate how you can financially support yourself. You haven't said which DTV visa scheme you will apply for.
