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.

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.
