Do I need a Non-O visa to apply for a retirement visa in Thailand and what documentation is required?

Michael ********

Yes for sure. If the comments help and it can be done without an agent then all good. I avoid agents whenever I can. As you said yourself in your comments, Korat is known for problems. I hope he can get it without the agent. If not, then it is agent time.
