ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
To obtain a retirement visa in Thailand, applicants must usually be at least 50 years old and demonstrate financial stability. This can be done by maintaining a bank balance of at least 800,000 Baht for two months prior to applying or showing a monthly income from a foreign source of at least 65,000 Baht, often verified through an affidavit from your embassy. Some comments suggest the option of using an agent for the process and indicate that direct personal funds might not be necessary.
