Quick question, and please forgive me if this has been asked and answered already, but I didn't find much (or rather too much to sift through) on this websites search function.
Is it easier to apply for and receive a retirement visa in your home country or after arriving in Thailand ? I'm about a two hour drive from the Thai embassy in Los Angeles.
Thanks for your input.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around whether it's easier to apply for a retirement visa in your home country or after arriving in Thailand. One commenter suggests applying in your home country to simplify the process, especially if you don't have a Thai bank account, as this is necessary for your visa extension. They recommend avoiding multiple trips to immigration and applying online from home. Another participant clarifies that all visa applications in Los Angeles are conducted online, with no walk-in options available.
