Do I need a Police Clearance Report from Canada for a Retirement Visa in Thailand?

You need to get a non-O visa before coming and then you can convert that to a retirement visa so long as you meet the requirements. The non-O visa will also let you open a bank account where as a tourist visa does not and you need the bank account plus either 800,000 Baht in it or money being transferred monthly for the retirement visa. I would recommend checking with the Thai embassy before leaving as it will save you a lot of trouble. Remember that the non-O visa is issued in the country that your passport is issued in and not in Thailand, I have heard of people getting it here but it cost them a lot of money (about 50,000 Baht I think) where as if you have the right visa when you get here it costs just 1,900 Baht for the retirement visa.

Is there possible to apply for non-o in canada now? Few years ago it was only available non- O A... where you need police and doctors reports.

You can apply for non-o in neighboring country though like Laos

Fellow Canadian here, applying for a non o visa do not need a police report

The mostly important you must open bank account.in Thailand.if you have non o visa .please contact kasikorn bank.most banks in Thailand are not allowed shot stay visa to open the bank account.hope this is helpful and welcome to Thailand

The 90 day non-O IS the retirement visa, so you won't be applying for any 1-year retirement visa.

When you arrive in Thailand, what you would be applying for is a 1-year extension based on retirement (being at least 50 years old). Extensions inside of Thailand don't have any requirement for background checks.

Embassies and consulates have no idea what is required from immigration inside of Thailand. They are completely different government agencies that do not communicate with each other.
