I'm in Vietnam now, my partner is Thai and we have a daughter, who is dual Thai and British, can I apply for a single entry non o in Ho Chin Minh without showing money in the bank and then get a job and apply for a work permit using the same visa?
Summary so far
The user asks if they can apply for a Single Entry Non-O Visa in Ho Chi Minh City while being in a relationship with a Thai partner, and having a dual nationality child, without showing bank funds. Comments clarify that while it is possible for some individuals (like foreign wives of Thai husbands) to apply without demonstrating financial stability, generally, financial proof is required for male spouses and same-gender couples. Additionally, bank funds must be in a Thai bank to extend the visa, but alternatives exist for applying from outside Thailand.

OP
I thought you could get a non o with a Thai child, I have pay slips from Vietnam with well over 40k a month but I only have 3 months worth

ONLY if a Foreigner Wife (female) is Married to a Thai Citizen Husband (male) with a Marriage Certificate, then that is the only specific instance where the Foreigner Wife (female) does NOT have any financial requirements for a Non–O Visa based on Marriage to a Thai Husband (male)

However, for a Foreigner Husband (male) or Foreigner Spouse (same gender spouses) Married to a Thai Citizen Wife (female) or Thai Citizen Spouse (same gender spouses) with a Marriage Certificate, then there are financial requirements NECESSARY for any Non–O E–Visa based on Marriage to a Thai Spouse at all Thai Embassies/Thai Consulates around the world = ฿400,000.– Thai Baht or monthly income of ฿40,000.– Thai Baht per month or the local currency equivalence of the particular Thai Embassy/Consulate

Unless you already have open a Thai Bank Account in your own name, then a Foreigner Husband (male) or Foreigner Spouse (same gender spouses) could also get a Non–O Visa based on Marriage to a Thai Wife (female) or Thai Spouse (same gender spouses) at their respective local Thai Immigration Office inside Thailand with those same financial requirements of ฿400,000.– Thai Baht in that Thai Bank Account you already have opened beforehand

There's also one more special circumstance of Foreign Embassy/Consulate Letters/Certifications, only if that Foreign Embassy/Consulate inside Thailand offers it (also needing to meet their own requirements to able to get one)

Are you and your partner officially married? On what basis would you apply for a Non-O? And you will need money in the bank but it doesn't have to be a Thai bank if applying outside Thailand but you need it in a Thai bank for an extension of stay
