TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking guidance on obtaining a retirement visa (NON-O) in Thailand as they approach the end of their tourist visa. They need to deposit 1,500,000 THB into a Thai bank account and inquire whether they need to leave the country first. Comments suggest visiting the local immigration office for specific requirements, confirming that a minimum of 15 days is usually required on the current visa stamp to apply for the NON-O visa. It's noted that the funds need to remain in the bank for at least 60 days for the 1-year extension, and hiring a visa agent is advised for a smoother process. There are discussions about varying requirements based on different immigration offices.
