The discussion revolves around the availability of the Non-O retirement visa at the Royal Thai Embassy in Singapore, where only the Non-OA visa is listed, requiring insurance. A participant notes that the Non-O visa can be applied for via the e-visa site, accessible at any Thai embassy. However, another participant highlights the challenge of needing a Thai bank account to apply for the Non-O visa within Thailand, suggesting that without a bank account, obtaining the visa in Thailand is impractical.
