What are the requirements for receiving the 65,000 baht monthly income for a retirement visa in Thailand?

Year one you have to show 0 baht in an account in your name. It must be there 2 months prior to applying for extension. It must stay there for three months after extension us granted and not go below 0 baht for the rest of the year. If you want to change to monthly payments of + baht you must start them in year one so you have 12 at the time you apply for second year extension. My IO accepted Thai bank statements printed from my banking app. They also wanted my UK bank statements to show where the money came from. All my transfers were done through Wise and showed as international. Bank book should show a transaction on the day of application. I did not need to get anything directly from my Thai bank except updated bank book.

is average monthly salary for digital nomad, so don't see any problems

Siam visa are now saying you do need a thai bank account for your retirement visa funds. Due to some of the bank restricting bank accounts .

If you're from the US, it's real easy. You can do everything online and it takes 2 to 3 weeks.

Unfortunately for you the Canadian embassy stopped providing income certificates earlier this year so for your extension of stay you need 800k baht in a Thai bank account. For subsequent extensions you can show that you have transferred a minimum of 65k baht per month from overseas each month for the 12 months prior to applying so you need to start the transfers immediately, however you can spend the 65k as soon as it shows up in your account

You need an affidavit from the last 3 months pension and a specific letter from the bank confirming 12 monthly payments of a minimum of 65k. That's in Pattaya.

Much better if you supplied what passport you hold and where you would be living.

Cash in a brown paper bag

Just put the 0 easier

Mix pension and transfer from abroad,but every month ,not the yearly total amount of 800.000 Example you cannot transfer 250.000 baht only one month because you have only 550.000 of pension ,but 42.000 of pension and 23.000 of transfer every month

Depends which country you are from

You need a certified copy of your bank statements for one year. Get it from your bank and have a bank office stamp and sign the hard copy.

Not all immigration office accepts the 65k method without affidavit from embassy (depends on passport) CW bkk does not accept mine (SG) without affidavit .....please check with the immigration office you are applying for your extension

You need to look this up independently. If you solely rely on answers on Facebook you will definitely wind up wasting time.

Here is an idea: why don’t you ask your local immigration office?

There are 2 ways to qualify for monthly income.

1) Embassy certified income. Many embassies do not offer this, so it's not an option for many people.

2) Monthly international transfers. You can do this by SWIFT from your home bank, or using WISE and selecting the funds for long-stay reason. Please note: This CANNOT be used for the first 1-year extension after converting to a non-O visa or entering Thailand with a non-O visa. Even if you have 10 years of international transfers you can show, it will not be accepted as you CANNOT use it for your first 1-year extension. You must either use option 1, or the 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account for the first 1-year extension.

How do you get confirmation from anything about immigration? You go there and ask. Each immigration office has their own policies, so something someone tells you might not apply to you because maybe they use a different office.
