Does the money you send from overseas have to be regular payments or just be more than 800,000 baht for 12 months? Do you just get a letter of authorisation from the bank about deposits? TIA
TLDR : Answer Summary
To prove financial support for a retirement visa extension in Thailand, you can either maintain a minimum of 800,000 baht deposited in your bank account for at least three months before applying or show consistent monthly income transfers of at least 65,000 baht sent internationally over the course of 12 months. If you opt for the income method, you do not need to keep 800,000 baht in your account for renewal, but the funds cannot drop below 400,000 baht between your extensions. For first-time applicants, proof of either method is necessary, depending on the regulations from your embassy regarding income affidavits.
