Hi everyone!

Does anyone know whether the financial requirements for the 1-year Non-O (Marriage) extension are the same for same-sex marriages?

The immigration requirements mention that if Thai citizens married to a foreign wife, the 400,000 THB savings requirement is not needed.

Does this exemption also apply to legally married same-sex couples?

Thanks in advance!
Answer summary
The financial requirements for the Non-O (Marriage) extension in Thailand have been a topic of discussion regarding their applicability to same-sex marriages. As per current understandings, Thai authorities do not explicitly recognize same-sex marriages for immigration purposes. However, recent legal developments suggest that marriages of the same gender may be treated similarly to heterosexual marriages regarding the financial requirements. A report states that for same-sex married couples, the financial obligations could potentially be met through combined bank account balances or monthly income of both spouses. Yet, specific interpretations of the law and individual immigration office practices may vary, indicating that it's best to consult local immigration authorities for accurate information.
