Get your visa before you arrive. Easier to open a bank account, and cheaper that way too.

not sure why you need one. Retirement visa is easy to get before you arrive. Then 12 month extension is cheap as chips.

the visas not that difficult, but you didn't say that you needed an agent because you needed them to provide the money.

You need to get the retirement visa before you leave for Thailand. You apply for it through the e-visa system from the Thai embassy in your country. Then once you get into Thailand, you can find an agent who can help you with the 1-year extension. But many agents can no longer obtain retirement visas inside of Thailand, so you need to get that before you go.
