@Phil *******
what did you get? Retirement visa or a 60 day visa?

@Tree ******
I saw that also. Just easier and no requirement for health insurance from inside Thailand. (I have TRICARE which they do not accept as proof of insurance).

I came to Thailand visa exempt 4 months prior and opened up a bank account with agents help. Transferred $ from my US Bank to "season" for 2 months prior to applying for retirement visa.

Did mine last year with an agent in Pattaya. Came with 60 day visa. Takes 30 days for immigration to process.

@Tree ******
the non-o is applied for IN Thailand vs the O-A which is applied for from your home country.

@Tree ******
I you apply from outside of Thailand then you are required to have health Insurance and police background check.

The agent assists you in opening the account. In my case last year I was not required to get insurance. But it is still your account.

Same boat as you. It has been about 35 years for me also. I would take bike out at 6am in Pattaya to get practice. Now Living in Nong Bua Lamphu, not much traffic so easier for this old fart to get around. Wife still refuses to ride with me though 😀

Google "integrity legal" Bangkok. Benjamin Hart does videos including this subject. Very knowledgeable.
