TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, the O-X visa for retirement does exist. It is valid for citizens from specific countries including Japan, Australia, and several European nations. Applicants must be over 50 years old and are not allowed to work on this visa. It's recommended to check the requirements on the Thai consulate's website in your country.
NON-O RETIREMENT VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES
  • Go to the Retirement Visa Section for information on requirements, including age restrictions, financial requirements, and necessary documentation.
  • For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
  • Explore recent discussions by using the Non-O Retirement Visa tag in the search box at the top of the page.

I'm shutting this down.

1. To get the Non-OX visa, you must be from:

Japan, Australia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherland, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Canada and United States.

2. The specific requirements can be found on your local Thai consulate website. Type "[Your passport country] AND Thai Embassy" and it should appear.

3. You must be over 50.

4. Because this is a "retirement" visa, you are not allowed to work.

If anyone wants this post to be reopen, please send a mod a message. Good luck!

The O-X visa DOES indeed exist. Check with the web-site of the thai consulate in the country your passport is from (or that you hold permanent resident status) to see what the requirements are.

While it does say it can be issued inside the country I have never heard of a single case where that's happened. Everyone I know of on the O-X visa got it in their country before they came here.

 The visa is issued in TWO 5 year stickers, so when one is expiring you go get them to stick another one in (10 years total).

Every entry gets you stamped in for 5 years.
