Do I need to show monthly income if I have the required 800,000 baht for a retirement visa in Thailand?

Bob *******

I believe you have to put 800K in the bank 2 months prior to applying for an extension and leave another 3 months. Then you can take 400K out don’t go below 400K and put back to 800K 2 months before renewal of new extension. If you don’t want the 65K per month option.plus bank account must be in your name
