You have to prove your current location when you apply for your visa online. In the visa portal you will be asked where you plan to stay in Thailand and hotel booking or a privat adresse with a contact number is normally sufficient. You could upload or prepare a invitation letter from your partner as well.

Ok, I understand, there’s a financial requirement for to apply for a 90 days Non O visa and do yearly extension of stay in Thailand.

If you don’t have any income or pension you’ll need to prove funds equal to 800K baht at home to apply and 800K baht in a Thai bank for the future.

If you want to do a longer stay with less financial requirements you could apply for a six months multiple entries tourist visa. This gives you up to nine months in Thailand in the first place.

You always have to prove income or funds for a Non O visa based on retirement.

For document indicating current location you can just upload your ID-page of your passport one more time, your driving license, utility bill or bank statement with name and address.

You don’t have to upload any ticket for a Non O and it’s excused for onward ticket requirements.

For your first year you’ll need to prove 800K baht in your Thai bank account.

Difficult if you plane to live permanently, but if you stay for periods and want to maintain your permission to stay you could manage with your bank at home and credit cards in Thailand and transfer smaller amounts to a Thai bank.

You could drop 800K permanently in your Thai bank. Then you’ll don’t need to transfer any money to Thailand to maintain an extension of stay based on a Non O visa. Or else there’s no legal way around proving that you have funds in Thailand if you want to maintain a permission to stay.

You could download this app and apply for an appointment at the DLT that serves your area.

Yes, you just count 60 days from your last entry date stamp. That’s what visa exemption really is; -not a visa just a free stamp.

Everyone gets stamped in, but you might leave electronically without any physical stamp.

I understand, the application do request a ticket or date, but it’s sufficient to just put a date and a flight you might use. For Non O visa you normally don’t need to upload any tickets and you have 90 days to enter from the day the visa it’s issued and you’ll get stamped in for 90 days. Just did this recently myself.
