I arrived here the 29th of November on a 60 day tourist visa. I would like to get a 1 year retirement visa. Do I have to get the 90 day Non O first? When do I need to go to immigration?
Answer summary
To obtain a 1-year retirement visa in Thailand, you must first apply for a 90-day Non-O visa. It's also required to have a Thai bank account with a deposit of 800,000 Baht. Be sure to visit the immigration office to initiate this process promptly.

The first thing you need to do is open a Thai bank account and deposit 800,000 Baht. Have you done this already?

If so, yes you must apply for the non o retirement visa first and then later apply for the 1 year extension as per the graphic Lloyd provided.
