What are the recommendations for visa agencies in Chiang Mai for obtaining a retirement visa after receiving a Non-O visa?

The bank account opening could be issue for you. Nowadays, thai banks are so hesitant to open an account for foreigners...although they have visa. Your visa is only for three months valid. so I am not sure if thai bank can accept this. Even, foreign expats who already have one year visa, retirement visa, can be rejected by a thai bank. I also know some cases. The typical cases, that make your head broken are, like, the bank need your driving license in Thailand. So if you do not drive? or have no driving license at all? how and how fast you can get a thai driving license? Actually I do not know what is related this thai driving license with opening a bank account. But anyway, they required this from you, then, you must have it by all means to open a thai bank account. Everything is so fully depending on what bank person you met. actually we do not know. It is a joke that thai bank personal ask you to bring your death certificate to open an account. so you have to die first to get death certificate. haha. it is joke. but this means, noone knows what they require from you. Unfortunately this is how it works in Thailand, and in many countries. This is very systematic and cultural and historical backgrounds. So no chance to change it or challenge it. But, if you are just lucky, things can go very smoothly here. If I were you, go to any bank near you and ask first if they can open an account, and you will find out what is going on here. Good luck to you and good luck to me too.
