Hi Barley,
I'm in exactly the same situation, but won't be arriving in Chiang Mai until next month.
Could you please let me know how you get on?
Good luck,
nalmal

I obtained a Non - O Visa for retirement in Vientiane 3 months ago. I was also asked for a copy of the rent agreement for my condo, which fortunately I had with me.

You can only get an OA visa in your home country. A Non Immigrant O visa is different. It can be obtained at many Thai Embassies and extended for 12 months in Thailand. A tourist visa can also be converted to an Non Immigrant O visa in Thailand (only at Bangkok and Chiang Mai Immigration I believe).

Yes they do, but I didn't want an O-A, just an O visa which I could extend for 12 months in Thailand.

I've just been to the Thai Consulate in Vientiane and they do require a bank letter. So, it's back to Chiang Mai with a tourist visa which hopefully I can convert to an O visa at CM Immigration.
I did apply for an O visa in New Zealand before I came to Thailand, but was told they didn't issue that kind of visa. They really do seem to be making it difficult to retire here.

Thanks ubonjoe.

I'm going to Vientiane later this week to apply for a Non O visa based on retirement. I have 2 questions:
1. I have the 800,000 baht in my bank account. Do I need a letter from my bank confirming that the funds came from overseas?
2. Do I need proof of residence in Thailand?
Thanks

Sorry. The name of the bookshop is On the Road.

There is a book on all the walking trails on Doi Suthep. Try Backstreet Books on Ratchawithi Road.

Thanks, Barley. Your information is exactly what I wanted.
I'm still in quarantine in Bangkok, but will go to Chiang Mai Immigration as soon as I arrive.
