I scanned my paperwork individual so e.g. marriage certificate paperwork consists of 4 x double sided sheets.
Application form only lets me upload 1 sheet per section.
If I can sort it out what happens next.
Going to try and get tourist visa for a friend. Will it be as difficult ?
If I can't sort mine out maybe I have to go for a tourist visa too.
Sorry for the long post but really stuck.
Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking assistance with their Non-O visa application process from London, specifically regarding the documentation required for uploading online. They have successfully completed previous steps but are confused about how to handle multiple pages of documents and whether certain items are necessary for their application. Community members provide guidance on document submission, suggest alternative uploading methods, and explain needed evidence for the visa, alongside addressing questions about applying for a tourist visa.
NON-O RETIREMENT VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES
Go to the Retirement Visa Section for information on requirements, including age restrictions, financial requirements, and necessary documentation.
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
Explore recent discussions by using the Non-O Retirement Visa tag in the search box at the top of the page.
if it asks for the upload, then you need to do it. You must complete any section that shows a red asterisk or you cannot move on. At the very beginning, it asks about country of residence. If he holds a UK or Irish passport, just ignore it or the whole application will go wrong. That section is referring to non UK passport holders with leave to remain in the UK.
in your case the paperwork for a single entry tourist visa will not be dissimilar.
1) Passport Bio Page
2) Recent photograph
3) Declaration
4) Travel booking confirmation
5) Proof of accommodation
6) Financial evidence
7) Confirmation of legal residence
I didn't see (4) on your original list and for (5) just get a letter of invitation and also send a copy of your wife's ID.
As others have said you can use a PDF to create multi-page documents.
If necessary you can use you phone to create them. The Google Drive app will do it for free. The Dropbox and OneDrive apps will also do it (OneDrive you need a subscription for multi-page, Dropbox I don't know).
It seems like you will face some hassle whichever way you go.
Some have suggested just uploading the first page online then taking or sending the full documents with your passport.
This could work because they won't actually check the documents (apart from the automated check of (1) and (2)) until they get your passport.
If you do it this way you must tell them that the documents you submitted online are not complete when you submit your passport.

Challenge is getting each upload under .5mb.... save the scans as pdf files then search Google for a pdf file reducer/file shrinking software.
The system is really slow so do not expect to do in in a couple of hours.
Item 8 is proof of your UK address. Should be obvious from your bank statements but I included a copy of a water rates bill as well.
Scan of wife's blue house book will be fine.
You will only get 90 days single entry from London though... so then you are either into having to leave Thailand and applying for another visa or extending for a year which drags in the issue of locking up 400,000 thb in a Thai bank account ๐ฃ
Good part is not having to send in the physical documents you have scanned.. just the barcoded document and passport.. ๐

I had the same problem re bank statements for past three months. What i did was upload the first one and then posted the others with the application. Nothing said and the required visa was issued.

I had to send them my 'self-assessment' from the Tax office.

ORIGINAL POSTER

For 6 you don't need all that. A simple one page invitation from your wife is fine.
Multiple pages can be put in a pdf file and uploaded. Yes, Yes, I know it says Jpeg but pdf files work ok.
