I am a regular visit to Thailand and looking at a retirement visa, can I apply for that when I get into Thailand (UK National). I have a Thai Bank Account already.

Answer summary

A UK national can apply for a retirement visa (Non-O) upon entering Thailand, provided they have at least 800,000 Baht in their Thai bank account. However, the acceptance of this application may vary by immigration office; some may allow applications while others may not. It is advisable to consider obtaining the visa prior to entering Thailand to streamline the process.

If you can obtain it while you are in the UK...it will expedite the process here in Thailand.

Otherwise...get a Tourist visa in the UK

And when borders are open again..seek to convert it to a Non O and Extension of Stay inside Thailand. Not all Thai immigration offices allow that...some do...so best to get the Non O in the UK if possible.
