TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion explores options for applying for a Non-O Retirement Visa outside of Thailand, with suggestions to apply in neighboring countries such as Laos, Cambodia, and Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur is noted for a quick turnaround (24 hours) but requires specific documentation such as insurance, a police check, and a medical certificate. Phnom Penh is mentioned as having fewer requirements but takes about a week to process. Participants also suggest considering applying directly in Thailand.

Kuala Lumpur is 24 hours but you have to have insurance, police check from your own country and a medical in KL. Phnom Penh had fewer requirements in May, but they take a week.
