I stated earlier on 29 March #185146 and apologized after I was corrected, as I read the website incorrectly.  The website wasn’t wrong it was myself not checking the data correctly.

I think you apologized to someone else but that's OK. I'll borrow that.

Heres the thing......I wish to live in Thailand.....I have a fixed income (retired)......State pension....small private pension.....I could easily live on them without draining the Thai public purse....I have insurance policy to cover hospital Bills if needed......I would be contributing to the Thai economy.....Just saying.

There’s an Embassy “O” Retirement Visa based on “ state pension”.

That's only to apply for the Non O Visa, at a Thai Embassy, which will only grant him a 90-day stay on entry.

To then extend his permission of stay for 1 year based on retirement at local Immigration offices, he needs to meet Immigrations financial requirements, which are 800K in funds in a Thai bank, or 65K monthly overseas transfers, or a combination of both totalling 800K for 1 year.
