Any Australians living in Thailand, that can give me some advice, on Retirement Visa.

Much appreciated.
Answer summary
Australians living in Thailand suggest applying for the OX visa through the Sydney consulate for a five-year entry stamp without needing to transfer funds into Thailand. They recommend obtaining any visa before arrival, such as the Non-O visa, which can be applied for online. Some expats mention using agents to facilitate the transition to a retirement visa.

Yeah, pay thousands of baht to an agent when it's a simple procedure in her own country and gets a five year stamp

Definitely get a visa before you get here!

Even if it’s just the initial Non O (90 days) which can now be done online!

It's a no-brainer. Apply for the OX visa though the SYDNEY consulate. Get a five year entry stamp, and don't have to transfer any money into Thailand

I agree with you Roberto. I am working on it right now but have got a challenge to get a health insurance while in Canada. I tried to contact the listed companies on the consulate website but didn’t work well. Any good advice? Very much appreciated
