ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The retirement visa in Thailand requires proof of funds totaling 800,000 baht, which must be maintained in a bank account for a minimum of two months prior to the application and three months after. Following this period, the requirement can drop to 400,000 baht but needs to revert back to 800,000 baht before the next extension. Conversely, the marriage visa requires only 400,000 baht, which also needs to be held for two months prior to application, but after approval, the funds can be spent for up to ten months.
