Can I get visa on entry and then get 15 month retirement visa.staying for 90 days.thank you
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.

Also use an agent as this is your 1st time

You can apply for a Non O visa in country if you meet the financial requirements.

However if you’re only looking for 90 days why not apply apply for a Non O from your local consulate.

You don't qualify for visa on arrival.

You can get visa exempt which means no visa at all. This is 30 days on entry and you can apply for a 30 day extension. That's 60 days total then you must leave Thailand and re-enter if you want more time.

Or apply for a tourist e-visa online. Some places send them within 2-3 business days.
