How do you go about getting An O visa when you’re back in the uk.
Answer summary
To obtain a Non-O visa from the UK, you can apply online through the official Thai e-visa website. It is essential to check the requirements listed on the Thai Embassy's website in London, particularly for retirement visas. The application generally takes around 5 days if the paperwork is correctly submitted, but be prepared to provide additional information like an outward bound flight detail. The Non-O visa application can be found under the 'other visas' category on the site. Initially, you apply for a 90-day visa and plan to open a bank account in Thailand to later apply for a one-year extension.

when you go the visa site the Non O visa is actually under the “other visas” link… then look for the retirement option…

You are actually applying for a 90 day visa which you will then open a bank account in Thailand and then apply for a year extension.. hope that makes sense now

he has the option of non O or OA.

If he wants to get the mandatory insurance, health and criminal records checks, it's the non OA.

If not, he applies for the Non O.

They are both available for over 50 retirement.

Do you need to pay for Thai health insurance before applying?

What if the visa is declined, and you have already paid?

I didn't apply for the non OA visa when I came to Thailand, so I am not an expert (I got the non O visa, so didn't need insurance).

I think to get the non OA you would need to show your insurance policy and if declined (unlikely) you would have wasted your money.

On the site, it's easy and it cones bavk within 5 days if paperwork is correct. On the site it didnt ask for outward bound flight details, but they contacted me for this! I assume you mean non-imm O 🙏
