ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The current requirements for the one-year retirement visa in Thailand allow applicants to meet either the financial threshold of 800,000 THB in a Thai bank account or a monthly income of 65,000 THB. However, this applies differently based on whether the application is made from abroad or within Thailand. For the first extension after obtaining the visa, the 800,000 THB requirement must have been met, while the 65,000 THB monthly income can be considered for the second extension. It's also important to distinguish between the initial application requirements and subsequent extension requirements as they can differ.
