ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion centers on applying for a retirement visa in Thailand without needing to leave the country for the 90-day requirement. It's noted that if one is on a tourist visa, it may be possible, but complications arise if the visa has lapsed into amnesty. Key requirements include having 800,000 THB in a bank account for a minimum of two months before applying. Several commenters suggest that using an immigration agent might simplify the process, especially for those whose visas have expired.
