ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
To obtain a retirement visa while currently in Thailand on a Covid extension, first check with your local immigration office for eligibility to apply for an in-country Non-O visa based on retirement. Ensure you have 800,000 THB in a Thai bank account or a pension of 65,000 THB per month as proof of income. You need to have a minimum time remaining on your current visa stamp (15 days for Bangkok) to initiate the process. Once conditions are met, you can apply for a 90-day Non-O visa, and when you have 45 days remaining, request a one-year extension of stay based on retirement.
