I want to apply for the Non-O 90 day visa and then extend on the basis of retirement. Agents want lots of money assuming that I want to cheat the system. I want to play it straight and do it myself. I’m in Bangkok and I know the procedure/requirements. The only thing I don’t know is what form to complete and where to take it. A pretty basic problem in my plan.
I would appreciate any pointers. 🙏
