ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
A British expat living in Bangna, Bangkok, is seeking advice on applying for a Retirement Visa while currently on a Non-O visa set to expire on March 18. Key points discussed include the requirement for funds to be in the bank for at least two months prior to application, the recommended immigration office locations (main government complex at Chaengwattana and Samut Prakan immigration office), and clarification that the expat will be applying for an Extension of Stay rather than a new visa.
