What are the financial requirements for a Non-Immigrant O visa for foreign men married to Thai women?
hello , I have a question about Non immigrant O visa .
Im married with a foreigner and we would like to get Non immigrant O visa for him. As he quit his job and has moved to Thailand for awhile now . Now im the only one who work . I heard that people told me in case of male foreigners who marry thai women must have 400 000 thb in the bank account. In another way , female foreigners dont have to have that much money if thai men get good salary. Is it true ? sounds unfair as Im a doctor and i earn good and stable income. But the immigrant dont count on me as i am a woman....

Answer summary
The discussion revolves around the financial requirements for a foreign male applying for a Non-Immigrant O visa based on marriage to a Thai national. It appears that foreign men must typically show evidence of either 400,000 THB in a bank account or a minimum monthly income of 40,000 THB, which many find unfair when compared to the requirements for foreign women married to Thai men, who usually do not have the same financial constraints. However, several participants mentioned that it is possible to obtain this visa from consulates in Savannakhet, Laos, or Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, without presenting financial documentation.

I removed your story. Please if you try to advice do not mix the rules, regulations and requirements of a Non Immigrant O visa and the Extension of Stay both based on being over 50 years of age. You can have one or the other one but not a mix of bothRobert *******

As many people stated savannakhet in Laos and Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam for the multi entry non-o visa is your best bet with no financial records have to be shown.

It is possible for your foreigner husband to go to a nearby consulate (like the one in Savannakhet Laos or in HCMC Vietnam) to get this visa without showing bank statements.

Pongpaka Kaewprasong I am in Savannakhet now. Today I gave copy of Thai wife ID & blue book , copy of Thai marriage certificate, (also have to show original) copy of my passport , 2 photo (passport size) application form.& 5,000 baht. Staff checked paperwork , gave receipt & said come back tomorrow for 1 year M/E visa & collect passport. Very quick & very easy (Thai wife has to sign all copies with her name on)

OPI just heard for the first time from here about this way ! Thanks a lot

I've heard of a group that caters to foreign women married to Thai men. It's a long shot, and not really your situation, but you might inquire there as well.
Pongpaka *************
OPyes , have to search more for those groups . I have joined this group long time ago and was thinking one day it might help me somehow . It does today ! thanks
Robert *******
Yes, many people find it not fair. a Foreign female married with a Thai man does not have to show any financial requirements, but a Foreign male married to a Thai female needs to have 400.000 Thb in a bank account on his name or a monthly income of minimum 40.000 Thb.
James ********
BUT your visa with no proof of funds would mist likely be a multi entry valid for 12 mths and he would have to bounce every 90 days.
Michael ********
@Pongpaka ************
I just did last week in HCMC and showed no financial docs. Was easy.Werner *******
@Pongpaka ************
Use the search function of this group and search for "marriage visa Savannakhet" or "marriage visa HCMC". You will find recent reports from other members who have just done this.Pongpaka *************
OPoh ... really ? would be so cool if you dont mind giving me more information
Robert *******
he can get the 1 year Non Immigrant O visa based on being married to a Thai National at Savannakhet Laos or HCMC Vietnam wihtout financial requirements.
Pongpaka *************
