Ok Im new here, trying to sort through different visas and requirements.

I'm 64, in Texas, there no embassy near me but there is a " Royal Thai Consulate" in Dallas. I'm planning to retire next year and looking to move to SEA. I dont like the idea of a large amount of my money held hostage as in Philippines. I'm thinking the DTV would be best. So here are some thing I cant get straight.

1-as I understand it the DTV does not require the big deposit, is that correct?

A-it requires proof of minimum of 65,000 tbht

B- does it have to be to a thai bank or can i show statements from my US bank?

2- under soft power there is mention of use of medical facilities or wellness resort can qualify. can someone clarify wellness resort?

3- do you have to continue to prove income every time you renew for the 5 year term? Not a problem, just clarifying
