ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
To transition from a Business Visa (likely a Non-B) to a Retirement Visa (Non-O), you will need to cancel your current Non-B and apply for the Non-O. Ensure you have a leaving document from your company and cancel your work permit in advance. It's advisable to apply for the Non-O before your current visa expires. Additionally, you will need to have 800,000 THB in the bank for at least 2 to 3 months prior to application.
