Is it possible to make a non O  retirement Visa in Thailand?

Answer summary

Yes, it is possible to apply for a Non-O retirement visa in Thailand. You can initially obtain a 90-day Non-O visa based on retirement criteria. Subsequently, you can apply for a year's extension of stay. To qualify, you must meet the financial requirements, such as maintaining 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account or proving an income of 65,000 baht per month through a letter from your consulate. Some users noted that while it is common to secure this visa before arriving in Thailand, it is also feasible to apply for it at a local immigration office once you're in the country.

I would stop by the immigration office you're going to use and see what they require.

And only 30 days on arrival. When I want to get the 90 days Non O I have to go out from Thailand? Or do I get it here at the Immigration?

I can make a Visa run and then I can make the 90 days at Lampang. And then the extension? Correct

you go to the immigration office, but you will need at least 15 days left on your current stamp to do it because the application goes under consideration for 14 days before you go back and get the 90 day Non-O stamped into your passport.

What immigration office are you going to use?

you can come here and apply for a 90 day Non-O visa based on retirement and then after that apply for a year's extension of stay as well.

You must meet the financial requirements of either banking 800K baht in a thai bank account in your name only for the required time, or getting a letter from your consulate that you get 65K baht a month in income, or a combination of the two.

No, officially. Visas can only be obtained from outside Thailand.

no worries

, many people get the 90 day Non-O at a thai consulate before they come here to get the year retirement extension. I just wanted to point out it can be done inside the country as well.
