I've had both. Go for the retirement Visa %100 as you are then independent of any others bad moods or pure bloody mindedness.

What should I do if I can't show the required 20,000 THB in cash upon entering Thailand?

Andrew ********

I've been coming and going in and out of Thailand for over 20 years on a regular work rotation and never been asked to show cash however if it worries you just bring $ and relax.

There are no ATM's on the arrival side.

Do I need to return to Thailand by my 90-day reporting date if I'm on a non-O visa?

Andrew ********

Essential you have a re entry permit before you leave otherwise your visa is cancelled as you exit the country.

90 day will begin fresh again on re entry.

What are the costs and processes involved in obtaining a retirement visa and a non-B visa for New Zealand passport holders in Thailand?

Andrew ********

Rip off big time.

800k in the bank for 3 month prior to visa application. The actual fee is very small 1900baht I think. Then also re entry stamp if you intend to leave Thailand at any time, multiple entry is best.

Takes about 2 weeks now as things have all changed recently.
