Has anyone done the application for non o retirement from in Thailand . Looking for personal experience not a friend told me.

Answer summary

The application for a Non-O retirement visa can be conducted at the local immigration office in Thailand, assuming you already have a Thai bank account to prove your financial eligibility. If not, you'll need to apply at a Thai embassy outside Thailand, with Laos being a popular option. Additionally, using an agency can facilitate the process while remaining in Thailand, usually for a fee.

If you're in Thailand, then the only "application" you can do for a non-O visa is from your local immigration office. You must already have a Thai bank account in order to provide proof of funds for the application. If you don't have a Thai bank account, then you need to leave Thailand to apply for the visa from a Thai embassy in another country. Laos is a popular choice.
