TLDR : Answer Summary
For a retirement visa in Thailand, you only need to meet one of the financial requirements: either prove you have 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account or demonstrate a monthly income of 65,000 baht. However, it's important to note that many applicants may find it more feasible to show the 800,000 baht option, especially since for the first year, immigration may only accept embassy-certified income and some embassies no longer provide this service.

For a retirement visa it's one or the other. But for most their only option is the proof of funds in a Thai bank account because for the first year immigration will only accept embassy certified income and many embassies no longer offer this.
