Apply on the online site listed earlier. You don’t contact the Embassy just submit online. They are usually very quick. Often 3 days or less.

What steps and documents are needed for obtaining a Non O Retirement Visa in Thailand after a visa exempt entry?

David *******

First, you’ll need to go to Immigration to get a 30-day Extension on your Visa Exempt entry.

When you’re there, ask them what you need to get the Non O and see what they say.

Make sure the place you are staying at has registered a TM30 before you go.

What are the implications of getting an Ed visa for Muay Thai training in Thailand?

David *******

As they’ve been misused Ed visas will be a red flag to immigration and could lead to questions and hassle whenever you try to enter the country. I don’t know how long you hope to stay for? Remember you can stay for nearly 3 months on Tourist Visa.
