ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a Retirement Visa in Thailand, you need to deposit 800,000 baht in a Thai-owned bank. For the first-time application, the money must be in the bank for at least 60 days prior to your application. For subsequent applications, the amount must be in the bank for a minimum of 90 days. Alternatively, you can use the Income Method if you can prove a monthly income equivalent to 65,000 baht without needing to deposit the funds.
