Sorry if stupid question, but I am looking at applying for the 90 day visa (I think Non O?) and then once in Thailand look at opening a bank account and getting the retirement visa (from what people say here, its easier and you don't need to buy the insurance as when you apply for it in your home country). The Thai website prior to recently changing over to the new e-visa website had information about it, but from what I see the new e-visa website doesn't mention it at all? The only option they list for non-o is the o-a and o-x. All I have seen online says you apply for a 60 day visa and then extent for 30 days in Thailand, which seems pointless given that we (Aussie) from 15/7/24 will get a 60 day visa exempt? Has the 90 day non o been removed?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring about the 90 day Non-O visa application, mentioning changes to the Thai e-visa website and confusion regarding its availability. They plan to apply for the Non-O visa and later obtain a retirement visa while in Thailand. A comment notes that the e-visa application does indeed include a 90 day Non-O pensioner option, despite concerns about the new website not listing it.
