ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
You cannot get a visa on arrival if you do not qualify; instead, you can enter Thailand under visa exemption for 30 days and extend it for an additional 30 days. If you wish to stay longer, you would need to leave and re-enter Thailand or apply for a tourist e-visa. To apply for a Non-O retirement visa in-country, you must meet financial requirements such as having 800,000 THB in a Thai bank account for at least two months prior to application. Using an agent is recommended for first-timers.
