ORIGINAL POSTER

What are the specific requirements for applying on my own for a Retirement Visa, from within Thailand at Chonburi? I have US passport with a fresh 30 day extension (initialy Thailand with an exemption stamp), and would like to start the process now. What are the requirements for the first step - getting a 90 day non-O visa, and also the requirements for the next step, a 1 year Retirement visa? I am over 50 and have a recent income affidavit from my Embassy already.  Is a bank account required? Is a notarized bank statement required? Is a a health clearance letter required? Is a police clearance required? Some of these are mentioned on various websites so I thought I would validate with this group. Thank you much.

TLDR : Answer Summary

To apply for a Retirement Visa in Thailand from Chonburi, you need to prioritize applying for the 90-day Non-O visa first. Here are the requirements for both visa steps: For the 90-day Non-O visa, you will typically need proof of the last two entries from your landlord's blue book, a TM30 confirmation from your landlord, proof of income or an 800,000 THB bank balance statement dated within the day of application, a copy of your landlord's ID, copies of all pages in your passport, the application form TM87, passport-sized photos, and your transit departure card. Additionally, the funds must have been in the bank for at least 30 days. For the one-year Retirement visa extension, similar requirements apply. It’s also advisable to visit the Jomtien immigration office to gather the most accurate and updated information.

you are confusing what people call a retirement visa (Non-O-A) gotten outside the country at the thai consulate in your country before you wing your way here (which requires the background check and the medical certificate with getting a 90 day Non-O visa and then the yearly extension inside the country at the immigration office

, gave you a pretty spot on list of requirements. I'd say to go the Jomtien immigration office and get the hand out they have listing the requirements.

You need to apply for the 90 day Non-O when you have at least 15 days left on your current stamp because it goes under consideration for 14 days before you go back and get the new Non-O visa and 90 day stamp inked into your passport.
