TLDR : Answer Summary

Traveling to Thailand on a 30-day stamp and applying for a retirement visa (Non-O) upon arrival is possible if you meet the necessary requirements. However, it's important to note that you may need sufficient time on your stamp (usually 15-21 days) to complete the application for the Non-O visa. Some commenters also suggest considering obtaining the visa from your home country for a smoother process. Additionally, changes in visa duration may allow for 45 days starting from October.

NON-O RETIREMENT VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Go to the Retirement Visa Section for information on requirements, including age restrictions, financial requirements, and necessary documentation.

Get the Non Imm O in your home country. Much easier.

Can do. Timing will be tight for getting your bank account and money transferred as you’ll usually require up to 21 days left on a valid stamp to apply (some offices allow 15 days). You can always get a regular 30 day extension before you apply for the non O.

@Harvey ********

then you might want to buy a cheap ticket out of Thailand within the duration of your initial entry to Thailand. If entering visa exempt then something within 30 days.
