TLDR : Answer Summary

To apply for a Non-O visa based on retirement in Thailand, a pension value statement alone may not be sufficient. It is advisable to provide both a pension statement and a bank statement showing deposits from that pension. This information is corroborated by community experiences and guidance from the eVisa and Thai Consulate websites.

A pension value statement is not the same as a pension in payment. A value statement only shows what the current pot is worth and not what is being paid per month.

I sent my pension statements but they wanted 3 months' bank statements too, showing the pensions deposited. It wasn't either or, it was both.

I would say the pension statement and the bank statement where the pension is going into should cover it
