Is a monthly social security payment sufficient for a 90-day O Non-immigrant retirement visa application in the US?

Regarding using Monthly income Requirements for applying for a Non–O E–VISA PDF at a Thai Embassy/Thai Consulate OUTSIDE Thailand

vs.

a Non–O Visa ink Stamp at a Local Thai Immigration Office in–country, INSIDE Thailand, specifically for those countries that their Embassies/Consulates inside Thailand do NOT issue Pension/income Verification/Certification Letters (e.g. USA, Australia, UK, Denmark Canada, very soon Norway, soon Finland, etc.):

if one applies for a Non–O E–Visa at a Thai Embassy/Thai Consulate OUTSIDE Thailand, then a Thai E–Visa applicant can use monthly income to get a Non–O E–Visa PDF

1.) there is NO Thai Consulate in Seattle, but if you are residing in Seattle, then the Thai Consulate in Los Angeles has always had consular jurisdiction for that area (Washington State) and all current residents would apply for a Non–O E–Visa based on Age over 50 years old at the Thai Consulate in Los Angeles

2.) CAUTION:

Need to be very careful as:

the Website of the Thai Consulate in Los Angeles may NOT be Updated to their most recent Requirements for a Non–O E–Visa based on over 50, as the Monthly Income Requirements for the Thai Embassy in DC, Thai Consulate in Chicago, and Thai Consulate in New York are already UPDATED to USD $2,500.– Dollars per Month as their Local Currency Equivalence of THB ฿65,000.– Thai Baht per Month for the Monthly Income Requirements of a Non–O E–Visa based on Age over 50 years old

I see a lot about retirement here. Does anyone use the BOI? I have and seems pretty straightforward.

Watch the exchange rate

Not 67k

With the dollar dropping..be careful with the 65K baht monthly transfer..all you can do is to start the process and hope the exchange rate doesn't leave you with less than 65K transfer..maybe...keep the 800k baht in thai bank...until you know for sure..

That will get you the visa. But you will have to deposit ฿800k in a Thai bank after you get here for your 1yr extension.

For visa, yes. For fun, maybe not 😀

The US Embassy will not issue you the pension income letter required to use only pension as financial responsibility. You need to have the money in the bank.

Americans have to use the 800,000 baht option the first year because our consulate no longer certifies monthly payments. After a year of showing international deposits, you can switch to that method. Make sure your monthly deposits are shown to be made from outside of Thailand.

is ten times the 800,000 baht mark in an investment account able to qualify someone for the Non-O?

Correct it’s one or the other. Three months statement from your social security provider or bank should be sufficient for the 90 days Non O as long as you meet the minimum requirement, as you do.
