What are the procedures, methods, costs and details of visa processing for the elderly in Thailand?

The basic requirements are as follows: the age should be over 50 years old and there should be at least 800000 baht in the deposit account, or there should be at least 65000 baht in pension income every month. The endowment visa can stay for 15 months for the first time, which is one visa for one year, and can be renewed indefinitely. If the endowment visa is renewed within the validity period, the holder can freely enter and leave Thailand for many times, and the funds in the endowment visa will not be frozen. After the endowment visa is completed, the 800000 baht in the bank account can be withdrawn at any time for other purposes.
