Is the only place I can get a retirement visa my country of origin?
Headed to Europe and would like to avoid the going to USA hassles (not to mention the flight times and cost). I can get a 6 month METV in Rome but can I get a "retirement" visa?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The individual inquired whether they can obtain a retirement visa (specifically a Non O-A visa) from a country other than their home country while traveling in Europe. Comments clarify that the O-A visa can typically be applied for from the Thai consulate in the applicant's home country or another country where they have legal residence, not merely while visiting. Additional information about requirements for converting a tourist visa to a retirement visa within Thailand was also provided.
