TLDR : Answer Summary

The inquiry addresses a discrepancy regarding the financial requirements for the NON-O 50+ visa for retirees, specifically whether 3 million baht is needed in a Thai bank account as stated by the Thai Consulate in Chicago, or if 800,000 baht is sufficient as seen on other platforms. Clarification is sought on the differences between new visa applications versus existing visa holders.
