Why does the Thai Consulate in Chicago require 3 million baht for the NON-O 50+ visa while others say only 800,000 baht?
The dumb question I have is : why is the thai consulate Chicago website saying 3 million baht required in Thai bank for non immigrant long stay 50+ o e visa for the first year and Iam reading from this FB page 800000 baht? One is for new visa and one for existing visa holders? I would be new one year visa o e non immigrant retiree applicant. U.S. thank you and sorry for my confusion if this question has already been answered
Answer summary

Clarification is sought on the differences between new visa applications versus existing visa holders.
