Answer summary
To obtain a retirement visa in Thailand, applicants typically need to be 50 years old or older. The financial requirements include having 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account for at least two months before applying or demonstrating a monthly income of at least 65,000 baht through an affidavit from an embassy. Some individuals may use agents, and there are inconsistencies regarding bank requirements. It's recommended to verify specific requirements with the nearest Thai embassy.

800k in a Thai bank in your name seasoned for two months before your 1 year extension unless your embassy supplies an income affidavit which shows at least 65 k a month

You can apply for the initial 90 days Non O visa through the embassy that serves your area with monthly income if you meet the requirements. For the first year extension of stay in Thailand there’s no legal way around proving the first year yourself by banking 800K in a Thai bank account, unless your embassy offers to provide you a affidavit letter regarding income.
(Check with your embassy in Bangkok if they provide this service. The UK, US, CAN, AUS and Danish embassies don’t, but several from Western Europe still provide this service).
