ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the confusion regarding the Non-O visa application process for retirement in Thailand. While the Thai embassy suggests applying for a Non-O visa for retirement, the online application site does not explicitly mention 'retirement' as a reason for application. Responses indicate that although there is no specific 'retirement visa', many expats successfully obtain a Non-O visa stamped with 'Retirement'. Other reasons for the Non-O visa include family connections and other circumstances such as voluntary work. It's crucial to understand the different terminologies used and requirements such as age, financial proofs, and insurance.
