TLDR : Answer Summary

When applying for a NON-O visa (retirement) in Thailand, financial evidence is required to demonstrate sufficient monthly income (at least 65,000 THB) or a bank balance of 800,000 THB. A sponsor letter is needed if someone else is providing the financial support for your visa application.
