How do I apply for a retirement visa in Thailand and what should I prepare next?

Canada is another country that provides these affidavits and it has worked great for us. We did it from 2021-2023 with no problem. We let our retirement Non-O's lapse last year to travel but are starting over again next month so hopefully the Canadian consulate in Chiang Mai is still providing them. 🙂 Is there a list of which countries still do the income affidavits? I know the US, UK and Oz stopped it a few years ago.

Not if your embassy offers to provide you an affidavit letter and you can meet the required 65K baht a month. Ore else you’ll need to prove 800K baht in a thai bank account for your first extension before you might switch to the income method by showing proof of twelve consecutive transfers for your second extension of stay.

The income affidavit is accepted for year one where the Embassy still provides one, 800k is needed for year one before switching to the 65k monthly method for subsequent years where the affidavit is not possible
