I understand US does not do the monthly income verification any longer. If I want to retire there with the monthly income method, what verification is good for Thailand government for retirement visa? TIA
TLDR : Answer Summary
If your embassy no longer does income verification, you cannot use the monthly income method for a retirement visa in Thailand. Instead, you can apply for an initial 90-day Non-O visa by proving your income through your embassy/consulate. For your first year extension, you must show 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account for two months prior to applying. In subsequent years, you can demonstrate income with proof of monthly transfers from abroad after the first year.
