I'm trying to fill out the application for a non O visa (for retirement), not easy. Date of arrival in Thailand โ do I just estimate given that the visa will be valid for 90 days once issued? Travelling by and Flight no โ also do I estimate? Is retirement classed as tourism? Name and address of local guarantor โ who is this? Countries for which passport is valid? World? The Embassy's covering letter also requests insurance for duration of stay which will be 90 days, or will it? as the visa is for 60 days renewable in-country. And start date of insurance? Should I book a one way ticket? Also, how long does it normally take an embassy to process the visa? Sorry for all the questions and many thanks in advance
