TLDR : Answer Summary

The post discusses the financial requirements for a Non-Immigrant O visa application. It is indicated that applicants may need to show proof of 400,000 THB if applying based on Thai family. However, there are alternate income verification routes where monthly income can suffice, eliminating the need for showing large funds. There are mentions of changes in requirements compared to previous applications, and specific amounts related to marriage to a Thai national, like needing a financial balance of £10,000 from a UK bank statement.

It's not in a Thai bank account for a Non-O obtained from an Embassy or Consulate

It’s just your friend Stuart who’s got things a bit mixed up and is talking about an extension of stay in Thailand.

You can apply for a Non-O, as you’re trying to do, by providing documentation of at least three months of income of a minimum of 40,000 baht per month.

400,000 baht is just an alternative basis for applying if you’re not using income.

i know what Stu meant, i am aware that if i want to extend my non imm o visa to a year's stay ( based on marriage ) i need 400k tbh in my thai account, but now i have clarification that the proof of finances to obtain the o visa to stay for 90 days can be provided through my uk account my dilemma has been solved.

This one is for those applying for a Non O visa based on marriage to a Thai national. This is the regular Non-O visa based on retirement.

Also, you don’t need to show any funds if you meet the monthly income requirement, whether it’s for retirement or marriage.

i am married to a thai national but work in britain for most of the year so im not retiring or extending it to a year's stay, so do i still have to show 400k in my thai bank account? what about the 40,000tbh income, can i show my uk bank account for this?

Yes, you just need to show your English bank account with three months of income. You can also include three months of payslips.

You don’t need to have any funds in a Thai bank account until you eventually apply for a one-year extension of stay in Thailand.

Tom Stu Levy here. If you are going to get a marriage visa then you need to show 400k in thai bank. Or show 40k a month but you can only use the monthly method after your first extension. And it has to be paid into your thai account every month. Then when you do your renewal you need to take bank statements to immigration.

Used to be able to get a letter from embassy but no longer can do it.

He’s not applying for a Non O visa inside Thailand and can apply for a Non O e-visa through the Thai embassy of London only with three months income.

agreed mate, we are going over in February to buy something in Hui Hin and move over next December.

Think I will just stick 400k in thai bank once I open one. Had 4 when I lived there before.

But married visa always been a pain to get, so might have to get a retirement visa and put 800k in.

But im selling up here.

Need Chogoon to finish college first. He has applied to the RAF as a pilot. He goes to Cranwell end of month.

Hope you are good mate.
