ORIGINAL POSTER
I'm about a month out from filling out a marriage visa. Do I need to secure health insurance from a Thai insurer along with a certificate?

Looks like I also need proof of retirement. Is that a pay stub?

Copy of criminal record here

Certificate of health from my health Dept.

All notorized and all notorized by my Sec. of State.

I'm in the USA

TLDR : Answer Summary
To apply for a marriage visa (non-O) in Thailand, you primarily need to provide proof of funds and a marriage certificate. Health insurance from a Thai insurer and a criminal record are not required for a non-O visa, unlike the non-OA visa, which has additional requirements. It's advisable to have your marriage certificate authenticated by your state's Secretary of State and the Thai embassy prior to your travel.

The only thing you listed that is required for a non-O based on marriage is proof of funds. None of these other things are required for a non-O visa. You're listing requirements for the non-OA which is not what you are wanting.
