I get confused in my search, for the perfect visa, to be almost constantly in my preferred Thailand.
Some websites say.
800.000 in the bank AND 65.000 income?
Other say.
800.000 in the bank OR 65.000 income?
My problem is.
I have sufficient money in my Belgian bank. But it's all invested. It gets free to use in almost 2 years.
If I would take it out now. I would lose a lot of money. And I would lose money again, by exchanging it to Thai bath and wiring it to a Thai bank. But if a monthly income of 65.000 THB (1735€ at this moment) is sufficient. Then I can apply for the retirement visa.
.
* I am 64. So that's over 50.
* I have a valid foreign (Belgium) passport.
* I can easily find a residence in Thailand and presenting a 6-month lease (I can rent in the hotel I always stay)
* Because my monthly income before taxes is over 65.000 THB it should be easy to get the letter from the embassy proving of sufficient income.
* The “Police Clearance Certificate” I guess, is a certificate of Belgium police of no criminal record. So that’s also no problem.
* Medical certificate. I guess it’s medical certificate of having non contagious illness. Also no problem to get.
* Proof of health insurance Thailand. I don’t know if my Belgium health insurance is sufficient. If not I can always get one specially for Thailand.

So my one and only problem is.
What is required?
800.000 ‘AND’ 65.000
or
is it 800.000 ‘OR’ 65.000?
