TLDR : Answer Summary
To settle in Thailand as a retiree, you would typically need a Non-O visa, specifically for retirement purposes. Initially, this visa is issued for 90 days, after which you can apply for yearly extensions to stay in Thailand.
90 DAY REPORTING RESOURCES / SERVICES
  • Use the trusted Thailand 90 Day Reporting Service to get your in-person report done and mailed to you for as low as 375 THB (even if the online system doesn't work for you).
  • For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
  • Join the Thai Visa Advice Facebook Group to ask your questions, and get advice from others.
