I am here on retirement visa from USA and last year I got the visa showing pensions, did that change for this year? Should I ask immigration or U.S.A embassy ?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The requirements for proving financial stability for a retirement visa in Thailand have changed since the U.S. consulate stopped providing the affidavit of income letter on December 31, 2018. To extend your retirement visa, you must either transfer a minimum of 65,000 baht into a Thai bank account each month for the last 12 months, or deposit 800,000 baht into a Thai bank account in your name for at least 2 months before applying for your extension. It's advisable to consult with the Thai immigration office for specific guidance.
