TLDR : Answer Summary

When applying for a retirement visa in Thailand, it's necessary to demonstrate that you have the required funds either by showing them in a bank account within Thailand or by providing proof of funds from a foreign account. However, it's important to check the latest regulations as requirements may vary.
