The, only victims of an increase in the retirement visa requirements, would, almost exclusively , be foreign retirees , and to be honest I would not expect any sympathy from any Thai government for foreigners. I'd say that is a forgone conclusion Other than for civil servants they don't treat their own retirees very well; I think the mother in law gets something like 800bt a month My brother in law is a police captain I believe his pension will be around 40,000 bt per month i might be wrong It might be a bit different for those on marriage extensions, who are supporting their wives, often some illegitimate children, often the inlaws and to varying degrees their wives extended families . Whether the Thai authorities have any sympathy for what is no doubt a considerable number of Thai nationals, albeit predominantly from the lower echelons of society , remains to be seen
