Question: Is it possible for me to get a Non-O Retirement visa at Bangkok Immigration even though I live in Phuket?

Background: I've been trying to apply for a Non-O Retirement visa in Phuket. They have denied my income verification letter from the Canadian Embassy in Bangkok due to the final paragraph which states, "In providing this letter, the Government of Canada accepts no responsibility of liability for the actions of the above named individual(s), whom it does not sponsor in any way." However, the liaison at the Embassy has ensured me that this letter is accepted at Bangkok Immigration.
Answer summary
The user inquires about the possibility of applying for a Non-O Retirement visa at Bangkok Immigration, despite living in Phuket. They have faced issues in Phuket regarding the acceptance of their income verification letter from the Canadian Embassy. Comments confirm that applying in Bangkok is an option if all necessary documents, such as a long-term lease and TM30 receipt, are provided.

I believe that the OP has the answers needed for his question.

We wish him success in obtaining the one year extension of stay with his affidavit of income letter obtained from his Embassy of Canada in Bangkok.

As long as you can provide the necessary documents for application in Bangkok, you can. For example, you need a long-term lease with an address in Bangkok along with a TM30 receipt.
