Can someone please clarify for me as I have very little knowledge about this.
Can you apply for a retirement visa while you are on a holiday visa or do you need to do it in your county before coming to Thailand?
Secondly what is the difference between a retirement visa singe entry and retirement visa multiple entry?
TLDR : Answer Summary
You cannot apply for a retirement visa while on a holiday visa in Thailand; you need to be in the country for at least three months for the process to transition from a tourist visa to a retirement visa. It’s recommended to apply for a Non-O visa, which is often referred to as a retirement visa, at a Thai consulate in your home country. The difference between single and multiple entry retirement visas is that a single-entry visa allows you to enter Thailand only once, whereas a multiple-entry visa permits you to enter multiple times while the visa remains valid, granting a specific duration of stay per entry.
