What visa do I need to retire in Thailand and do I need a Thai bank account for my retirement?

Ian *****

Next year - as in 2022. No one can advise, rules may have changed by then. Google and embassy website give you most info you need now. Non-O with no insurance not likely to be possible ongoing. Assume you will need full insurance unless you go Elite Visa route.
