How can I start the process for a retirement visa in Thailand while currently on a visa-exempt entry?

Michael *******

First thing! Open a bank account. Then you will need 800.000 baht to show in it. While your there now. Get your bank account opened. I did mine with Bangkok bank. If you nip in they will explain what you need. ID. Residense certificate ( blue book). Hope that helps for starters 👍. People will give you more info. You are over 50 ? Yes?
