It is very easy to do. Just contact the Thai embassy for the very short list of documents you need.

I use a lady who’s business is called Bangkok Buddy. She’s professional, accessible and provides a good service.

Get yourself a 90 day non OA multiple entry visa in Australia and when you arrive in thailand and find somewhere to live go to the immigration office and then you can apply for a retirement visa, very easy to do, you will need 800,000 baht in a bank account or proof of

baht a month income.

I think it might be best to talk to someone in your Thai embassy or consulate in Australia to find out what visa to get because they keep changing the rules here, I think the OA you need medical insurance and the non O you don't or it could be the other way round.

I highly doubt there would be an immigration lawyer/ agent/ whatever to help get a Thai retirement visa. Their job would simply be to collect the paperwork you need and hand it to the Thai embassy, while taking lots of money out of your pocket.
