What is the process for obtaining a Non-O visa from the UK?

Al ********

when you go the visa site the Non O visa is actually under the “other visas” link… then look for the retirement option…

You are actually applying for a 90 day visa which you will then open a bank account in Thailand and then apply for a year extension.. hope that makes sense now

Is it harder to get a retirement visa in Thailand compared to retiring in Mexico?

Al ********

Mexico is definitely more expensive than Thailand 🇹🇭 unless you enjoy living in the deep desert or mountains 🏔️… not someplace nice …

Also Thailand has way better food …

Mexicans are wonderful people… love them as much as the Thais…

Have not even said one word about the cartels and violence.. okay now I have …

Thailand for the easy win
