Greetings! Thank you in advance for help and direction. I have a flight and I have a Thailand pass. I thought I was getting a visa but I guess I only got the pass. I want to retire in Thailand. I think I can come in with just the pass. I'm from the USA. How should I go about getting a retirement visa? Thank you.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user from the USA has a Thailand Pass and wants guidance on obtaining a retirement visa after arrival. Comments suggest applying for a Non O, Non OA, or Non OX visa through a Thai consulate before arrival or entering on a visa exemption. Key steps include opening a Thai bank account, ensuring 800,000 baht is seasoned in the account for two months, and applying for an extension of stay based on retirement. It's crucial to maintain the required balance in the account to meet visa extension conditions.
