What types of visas are available for retired and solvent individuals wanting to live in Thailand?

it doesn’t cost 800k. Only need to have that amount on a Thai account in your name.

Lastly: If you are fine with leaving Thailand every 180 or 360 days for a bit or to do a border bounce, you can also look into the newest DTV - Destination Thailand Visa. Cheap and easy to get for 5 years.

Else, go the yearly extension way if you are 50+. All you need is 800k baht put in a Thai bank account for that.

The Elite visa is quite expensive and does not justify its price anymore - as better and cheaper options exist.

LTR has to be pre-approved by the BOI in Thailand and can be obtained within Thailand, too. Yearly extensions based on retirement will also be done in Thailand at a local immigration office.
