You have to follow the guidelines for the country that issued your passport.

my wife (Thai) does my marriage visa for me. The initial application process is somewhat daunting. There's a lot to do. It gets easier after the first time. In my case, I went to the Thai embassy in Chicago. They gave me a 6 month, multiple entry tourist visa for $200.00. Not sure what's available nowadays. A retirement visa can be easier to do, but requires more money in a Thai bank account plus health insurance. At his age, insurance might be very expensive or difficult to get. I'm not sure about that since it's not a requirement for marriage visa.

@Tulip *******

that would be a problem for a retirement visa, but it's not required for a marriage visa.

Can your embassy certify your monthly pension income IF you have it?

@Paul ********

you're probably getting a sense of the seriousness of this situation by now. Your company is not doing you any favors.

You're still alive to ask?
