I've been having my pension check transferred the 1st of every month for the last 6 years

My pension money goes to the Bangkok Bank in New York City and then they transfer to my account in Chiang Mai very easy to set up

after you apply the second year for your retirement Visa if you have 65,000 baht every month coming in to Thailand to a Thai bank then you can use that instead of 800,000 in the bank. You must have documentation for one year of at least coming into a Thai Bank

I came in with a tourist visa changed it to a non o 90 day and then you can change it to a retirement Visa which is a yearly Visa or sent you are married to a Thai you could change to a spousal Visa. For retirement Visa you need 800,000 in the bank or show 65,000 baht income coming into Thailand every month. For spousal Visa need 0 in the bank or 40,000 coming in every month
