What are the current requirements for a retirement visa using monthly income in Thailand?

This is about Roi Et, and that explains a lot.

Immigration has the right to ask for the source of the 65k per month deposits based on retirement.Officially transfers from a personal bank account back home is not accepted even if it works in most provinces. Immigration might ask for a stamped and signed document from a pension provider showing you're officially retired.

Each immigration office decides at its own discretion how to proceed.

This has become unsustainable for most foreigners temporarily residing in Thailand.

The rules, left at the discretion of the Immigration Bureau.....change every month 😳

TiT

They change everyday and at every branch and every immigration office LOL

This is Thailand.Everything can happen surprisingly.

Every immigration office makes own rules.

Some offices have always requested pension statement

When l used the monthly income method, l was always required to show the source of my money in the UK. I used to attach my yearly P60, and that was sufficient for Korat immigration.

Yes, had same asked

I not had the statement of the bank account in Europe. But they were ok, with statement of person, where it came from. Next year I take my wise account statement. By the way, BKK bank refused to make the letter at first too.

The rules have not changed, they have changed their rules

Monthly method is based on income, some offices want to check your income, although I've seen it more often with an income certificate from an embassy
