Can I apply for a Non-Immigrant O visa in Thailand without knowing my exact stay details?
Steve *******
@Peter *********
 Yes we know that but the Non Imm O is commonly referred to as a 'retirement visa'. It's the visa needed for the 1 year extention based on being 50 or over!

 The Non Imm O is the visa, commonly referred to as a 'retirement visa', the 1 year is an 'extention of stay'

 Technically you're correct, however it is the VISA for age 50 years or over commonly referred to as a 'retirement visa' as opposed to the 1 year extention of stay.

What is the process for obtaining a retirement visa to Thailand, and can I open a bank account for my pets?

Neal HymanOnly 90 days insurance and most people have insurance anyways, subsequent extentions dont require insurance. Much easier to arrive with a Non Imm O than convert in Thailand.
