TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the requirements for obtaining a Retirement Visa (Non-OA) from VFS Kolkata for Indian nationals. Key points include confusion about whether to show funds in a Thai bank account or an Indian one, with clarification that funds in an Indian bank account are sufficient. For detailed requirements, users are directed to the VFS website and specific links regarding the visa process.

seeing as they'd be getting the O-A visa in their country before they come they could also use an insurance provider there to meet the requirements.

My understanding is VFS is an agency, and agencies aren't needed. You can do it yourself [EDIT: Unless you're in India!]. Also, what exactly is an "retirement visa"?
