Answer summary
The discussion revolves around finding the best and cheapest options for applying for a Non-O Retirement Visa in Thailand. Recommendations include applying for an initial 3-month visa from the applicant's home country before moving to Thailand, and handling the one-year extension either independently at a local immigration office or through an agency. Costs vary; applying in-country is around 2000 baht, while some agents offer services that may be more expensive. Users also emphasized the importance of mentioning the specific location in Thailand for tailored advice.

We recommend starting by applying for your initial 3-month Non-O visa from your home country before traveling to Thailand.

Once you arrive, you can open a local bank account and then choose whether to handle your one-year extension yourself or work with an agency.

Are you asking for an agent recommendation in Thailand? If yes, then you are going to need to tell us what part of TL (e.g. BKK, Pattaya, Phuket, etc) so people can recommend a agent in your area. If you are in TL, the cheapest way to get a visa is to do it yourself at any immigration office. It's a bit complicated the first time you do it on your own but if you are patient, you'll save a whole lot of money vs using an agent. It'll only cost you a couple thousand Baht if YOU do it at immigration.

About £60 from London. Maybe $90 from a US embassy/consulate

2,000 baht to apply in country, or about 1,000,000 baht to apply from New Zealand. (Well ok that might be a little bit exaggerated).
