What is the required bank balance for a 90-day non-immigrant Cat O visa when applying in one's home country before extending for marriage to a Thai national?

Brandon ************

Marriage to Thai is 400,000 baht for the visa/extension in Thailand. The exact amount you'll need for an embassy will be on the embassy's website, as it's not always the same.

Is the thaievisa.go.th website secure with HTTPS?

Brandon ************

Most browsers no longer show https in the browser bar. But Chrome says it's secure with SSL with a valid certificate.

Believe me, the browser is the least of your concerns when it comes to the security of your data. The Thai government has constant external data breaches and people inside selling data.

What should I do if my landlord can't provide the required documents for my Non O visa application in Thailand?

Brandon ************

First of all, the non-O IS the retirement visa.

Second, what is the issue? A lease and a TM30. Those aren't complicated things and infact the TM30 is a legal requirement of your landlord.
