TLDR : Answer Summary
A UK citizen seeking a retirement visa in Thailand should know that a criminal record clearance certificate may not be necessary for the Non-O visa, as it has fewer requirements than the Non-OA visa. For criminal record clearance, the ACRO (Association of Chief Police Officers) in the UK can issue the certificate, or a DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check can also serve the purpose and may be expedited. A medical certificate can be obtained from any doctor or hospital.
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.
A dbs will do it - just go online you can use an agency or do it yourself which can also be expedited. You donβt need ACRO which takes forever, unless they have changed the rules again.
non oa requires criminal checks and annual insurance. Non o requires proof of funds, so to extend each year you need 800k baht in a Thai bank account. Most people choose the non o, as you don't need the specific insurance and you don't need to leave Thailand to extend year on year.
he would be better if doing for a non-o in home country than non-oa, or non-o in country.

First figure out if the Non-OA visa is actually the visa you want to apply for. Most people actually want to apply for the non-O visa which does not require any of those things.
you cannot get a non oa visa inside of thailand, only a non o visa. Although to get a non o visa inside of thailand requires a thai bank account which is very difficult if you don't arrive with a non o from the uk
they are both non-immigrant visas. That's what "non" means. Non-O is "Other" and covers many things like retirement, marriage, volunteer, etc. But it's a 90 day visa.
The non-OA is also a non-immigrant visa but it has much higher requirements and is a 1-year multiple entry visa.
Most people want the non-O as they don't want the insurance requirement.
