Hi everyone wots best way to get retirement visa pls ?
Answer summary
To obtain a retirement visa in Thailand, specifically the Non-O Visa for those over 50, consider the following steps: check the Thai Embassy website for requirements, apply at the embassy in your country, or request information directly from your local immigration office. Some expats suggest handling the application yourself online to save on agent fees, while others recommend using visa agents like those in Pattaya for assistance.
