Visit Pattaya. Several agents there will open a Bangkok Bank account for you on any visa, for 4500-5000.- THB. One of these agents is F.S. Consulting Co. (they got a facebook page and a website with a price list)

hire an agent to do it for you

fly to Estonia and apply from there. The Thai embassy in estonia will accept your original company documents

@Eugene ******

yes, however I guess that the embassy or consulate which proceeds the application, might ask you for a proof that you are presently in their country of diplomatic residence

@Jacob ******

really? And they are switching to the E-visa system by October 8? Or maybe you are able to visit physically until the end of October. If I was you, I would inquire by email

@Christian ********

CAUTION . . . . be aware that all of Thailand's neighbour countries are switching from physical visa-application to the online E-visa system. I guess you cannot get an appointment from the Vientiane Thai embassy any more to this day. Same applies to Kuala Lumpur: they have stopped issung appointments and they don't serve walk-ins any more. The E-visa system is supposed to be introduced by October 8

Once issued a 90-days Non-Imm-O retirement visa, you can apply for the "1-year extension of stay permit" as soon as the minimum of 800.000.- THB deposit has seasoned inside your Thai bank account for 2 months. The application fee is 1900.- THB. Some people and Thai Immigration in very bad English call the "1-year extended stay permit" a "retirement visa", however this is NOT a visa at all, this is just a simple stay permit based on being over 50/retired. The stamp tells it all, the stamp says "extension of stay permitted until" and a date 1 year away from the day after the original 90-days Non-imm-visa expired
