Unfortunately you have to deposit 800,000 baht into a Thai bank account πŸ˜‘ unless you can meet the 65,000 baht per month income requirements.

OK so I should change my US address to my Thailand address once I have a lease in Chiang Mai rather than use a friend's address in the United States?

I don't meet the requirements of $2500 a month. If I did I would have applied for a LTR not a 1 year retirement visa.

I've been getting comments that using a Thai address for social security you will need to certify you are still alive every year and some people don't receive the mail from Social Security in time and SS will cancel/postpone your deposits.

Good advice! I do have Charles Schwab but I will need to deposit 800,000 thai baht into Bangkok Bank in Chiang Mai for a retirement visa.
