How can I apply for a retirement visa in Thailand using an income certificate or bank deposit?
Hello and thanks for the advice. Has anyone applied for the retirement visa using the certificate of income of not less than 65,000 baht a month? Is it true that one has to get the affidavit (income letter) from the US Embassy ONLY in the US before traveling to Thailand?
If one is depositing 800,00 baht into a Thai Bank (for retirement visa), it can be done while in Thailand without the US authenticating income?
Just trying to see which one works best for me. Thanks for advice.

Avvidavit is a written personal statement. Confirmed to be authentic
Thats not wat the Thai governemement accepts. Income statement is a verrified statement. The USA not verrifies and issues a income statement.

Sorry, but the US Embassy in Bangkok and in the USA, no longer issues the Affidavit of Income letter to use for your application for the retirement Visa in Thailand.
You MUST deposit the required 800,000 Thai baht in a Thai bank account in your name only.
The 800,000 Thai baht must be wired to your Thai bank as an international transfer.
When you have arrived into Thailand, visit your local Thai Immigration office where you will be living and ask for their list of requirements for the Non O Visa as retiree and the One year extension of stay as retired.
