A user currently residing in Australia is seeking advice on obtaining a retirement or spouse visa for living in Buriram, Thailand. Several commenters suggest applying for a NON-O visa initially for a short stay and then transitioning to a retirement visa for an extended period. It's recommended to apply in Thailand, particularly for the retirement visa, and some commenters mention the requirements for maintaining specific amounts in a Thai bank account for visa approval. While agents can assist with the process, opinions vary on their necessity and cost-effectiveness.
