My guess is that some things are lost in translation or perhaps some ppl are more stringent with the rules. The site you linked is clearer than the consulate's but basically saying the same thing. I'll check it out in person when as soon as I can...But I'll need that police record of mine first :)

Cool Maxim, thank you. But I am thinking the O-X (retirement visa) must be done in my passport's origin country

Huh. That's why I started this thread as the consulate's website is quite confusing.

@Biff ******

Yes, it is a hassle and good for only two years? And I would have to have the bank account in Thailand like the requirement for the O-X?

Yes, I'm going to go to the Embassy when I have the time and get direct answers.

Yes, I was thinking the same. Then I may obtain a visa that is better suited to me once I'm there. Though I would have to come back to the US for that correct?
