The best I saw was, on i think the American Thai Visa website, where you needed to upload two photos of you I'm not sure if it's the same photo twice but you needed to upload it twice. Acording to the instructions.
Jag aldrig haft det problemet tidigare med flyg i Asien förutom med det här flyg bolaget från Saigon till Bangkok 2019
"Jetstar Pacific Airlines"
Men jag har läst någonstans på officiella texter att för exempt så ska man ha biljett ut egentligen. Men det verkar inte ens som om thailändska immigrationen (personer) själva vet om det.
Just to be clear immigration .... bangkok ... com is NOT the Bangkok immigration website .
And as had been implied there isn't really a thai retirement visa (possibly o-a, but like o-visa it says "for retirement")
"Thailand retirement visa is the popular term for "Extension of Stay Based on Retirement”. It is an extension of a Non-Immigrant O Visa or Non-Immigrant OA Visa."
This is the real immigration site with authentic Thai English
I don't also expect them to shut down the COE application websites before they take up the TP site. It'll save us still working on it I'm going to take 3 months before it's finished. Meanwhile you have to wait...
I know that they require you to be on a non-o visa so you have something to existend.
It seems you can apply for the 90 day visa outside of Thailand.

That would maybe save you some time.
Again there's actually no retirement visa which people will tell you but instead raise a non-O immigrant 1 year extension for retirement reasons.
I think already the 90 day non-o is (or can be) "for retirement" do what people think of retirement non-o visa is actually just the 1 year extension...
I can only talk of my case; arrived on visa exemption, applied 30 day extension becaase I didn't have to 15 days left, so I could apply to transfer to a visa stay.
It seems you need to have a non-o visa to apply for retirement extension, which makes sense.
You need at least 15 days legal stay left then applying to transfer to 90 day non-o visa. You need to have the money in the that bank account when you apply. That gives you 90 days. After 2 months, I think, you can apply for 1 year extension.
Not sure if you can come on a non-o visa and do retirement extension directly on that.
I found Bangkok immigration helpful in explaining, buit took a few times to get it all down.
Most important is the money and *updated* records printed same day that they money is there (bankbook), as well as showing original Bangkok.
