Germany as an Overseas Country of Origin (OCO) does not offer any visa options to German nationals residing in Thailand. If you want to live in Thailand after retirement, consider applying for an OA Visa or if you are married to a Thai national then apply for a Thai marriage visa. The Thai Embassy in Berlin will issue these type of Thailand visas for you if you qualify for these visa categories.
The Thai embassy in Sweden issues visas for Thailand for Swedes in Stockholm and in country. If you wish to retire in Thailand or visit Thailand as a tourist then this is normally the first place to start. Always ensure that you apply for a tourist visa if on holiday as it gives you more options if you want to extend your stay in Thailand. The visa on arrival is too problematic if you want to extend your stay.
