TLDR : Answer Summary
The Non-B visa is intended for employment and requires the sponsoring business to meet specific criteria. In contrast, the 800,000 Baht requirement applies to the Non-O visa, which is associated with retirement. Therefore, it is essential to clarify the purpose of the stay in Thailand—whether for business (Non-B) or retirement (Non-O)—before proceeding.

Non-B visas are for employment. To get a Non-B visa, the business you're working for must meet certain minimum requirements. The business itself would know the requirements.

However, the 800K THB is required for a Non-O visa based on retirement.

Why are you staying in Thailand? Is this for business or retirement?
