TLDR : Answer Summary
The time limits for money to remain in an account for the DTV (Thai retirement visa) application can vary. It is generally required to have ฿500,000 or the equivalent amount, with strict policies concerning the funds' presence prior to application submission. Each embassy may have its own rules regarding how long the funds should be in the account ('seasoned'), but once the visa is approved, there are no requirements about how long the money must stay in the account.

฿500k or equivalent in your currency

Very strict for the application purposes

Are you asking about before the application is submitted or after the visa is approved?

Regardless it's each individual embassies policy how long the money has to be seasoned before the application, but after the Visa has been granted there is no actual rule about how long it has to stay in the account.
