TLDR : Answer Summary

When applying for a NON-O visa (retirement), a sponsor letter is required if someone else is providing financial support for your visa application. This letter serves as a declaration from the sponsor that they will be financially supporting you. Additionally, the visa application requires proof of monthly income of at least 65,000 THB or a bank balance of 800,000 THB, with the submission of bank statements for the past three months.

Sponsor letter is if someone is sponsoring you, providing the money for the visa.
