What are the financial requirements for a Non-Immigrant O visa based on marriage to a Thai national?

Question

Some advice would be much appreciated Im 26 my wife is erly 30s and we have a young son. I thought I saw somewhere that if you make over 40k a month and its in a Thai bank for more then 3 consecutive months you could get a long stay visa? Is this still true or do you only have to have 400k in a Thai bank for marriage visa? Before I made just under that amount but now at work I make over it and I've been putting it in my thai bank would this make me able or not? Some point later in the year I'll have some funds and be able to do the 400k but not quite yet and as my son is only a couple months old I do not really want keep dragging him along to visa runs to Loas or leaving him behind while I go somewhere... Sorry for the long post hope someone can help enlighten me about how it all works.

To obtain a Non-Imigrant O visa based on marriage to a Thai national, you can meet the financial requirements through several options: 1. Having at least 400,000 THB in your bank account for 2 months prior to your application. 2. Providing an income affidavit proving a minimum monthly income of 40,000 THB from your embassy. 3. Depositing at least 40,000 THB per month into your Thai bank account for 12 months. 4. Showing a salary of at least 40,000 THB with proof of tax and social security payments for the last three months. If unable to meet these requirements, you may apply for a Non-Immigrant O visa at the Savannakhet consulate and will need to do border runs every 90 days.

If you can not meet any of these financial requirements the alternative i to visit the Thai Consulate in Savannakhet, apply there for the 1 year Non Immigrant O visa based on being married to a Thai National, you have to make every 90 day a border run to activate a new 90 day period, but gives you enough time to get the finances sorted out.

Robert ******* · Answer

The visa gives you 90 days of stay, after 60 days you can apply for the 1 year Extension of Stay based on being maried to a Thai National:

next to several copies of passport, wife id, marriage certificate, pictures there is a financial requirement, this is:

Or 2 months prior the application a minimum of 400.000 Thb on a Thai bank account on your name

Or the income affidavit of minimum monthly income of 40.000 Thb from your Embassy

Or if your Embassy does not provide, at least 12 months of foreign deposits into you Thai bank account of minimum 40.000 Thb a month,

Or an Thai salary of minimum 40.000 Thb, with proof of tax and sso payments of the last three months, work permit and other company documents.
