TLDR : Answer Summary
To retire in Thailand under a Non-O visa, start by applying for the visa at a Thai embassy before flying to Thailand. Upon arrival, you can open a bank account with your visa and begin the process for residency. Important steps include obtaining a yellow book (house registration) and pink ID card. This requires documentation like translated marriage or birth certificates. It's essential to have a Thai bank account for your funds before applying for long-term extensions. Also, be prepared by gathering necessary documents including police clearance and medical insurance forms.
