Hello Thai Visa Gurus. I am arriving in Bangkok Monday, July 21st with a retirement OA visa. Do I just enter the normal visa immigration line or is there a specific line for these visas? Thank for your advice in advance.
Cheers!

TLDR : Answer Summary
When arriving in Bangkok with a retirement OA visa, you should use the normal visa immigration line, specifically the 'foreigner arrivals area'. There is no separate line for the OA visa unless you are over 70 years old, in which case a specific line is available. It's important to present your e-visa along with your passport and any necessary documentation, such as proof of mandatory insurance that is valid for up to a year. Also, do check the stamp on your passport before leaving the immigration area.

as people stated unless you're 'ancient or crippled' 😮 you just go thru the regular line
Have the OA visa PDF and the year insurance paper printed out (although it should say on the OA visa PDF in the remarks that your insurance is valid until xxxx date)
Remember to show the IO your evisa together with your passport (and possibly the TDAC), and check the stamp in your passport before leaving the airport.
