Do witnesses need to be present at immigration for a Non-O visa application in Thailand?

เดแคลน ***********

Entirely depends on the IO and office. If that's what they are telling you, you need to do then its best to do it.

No such thing as a DTV card. Who or what gave you the impression it came with a card?

What retirement visa options are available for someone under 50 with a full pension in Thailand?

เดแคลน ***********

DTV for 5 years on soft power but you will still need to work something out for the last 3 years to get you to 50, you can get the platinum privilege (10 years 1.5m baht unless its changed) or LTR (however requirements are steep for the LTR)

Can I use monthly transfers of 65,000 baht to renew my Thai retirement visa instead of the 800,000 baht requirement?

เดแคลน ***********

Yes but make sure you keep to the terms of your current extension (not dropping below 400k) and personally if it was me, I would also make sure the 800k is there before you get the extension just incase something is wrong or something goes wrong.

How many times can I enter Thailand on a visa exemption?

เดแคลน ***********

You can come until you can't... In other words, its literally down to the discretion of the IO/supervising IO every time you try to enter even with a TRV/METV. As long as you don't have a sketchy history you should be fine but I would make sure you meet all the requirements such as 20k cash, on-wards flight etc

Will my IDP be sufficient for driving in Thailand, and am I covered by the car owner's insurance?

เดแคลน ***********

It depends on if they have voluntary insurance or just compulsory insurance and if they have voluntary insurance what the policies are in that insurance.

What are the best options for obtaining a retirement Non-O visa in Thailand if I plan to return after several months abroad?

เดแคลน ***********

Option 2 but don't use an agent get a non-oa instead that way your money is still in the UK and you're completely legal and then meet the 65k a month every month transfer requirements for extensions.
