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....

TLDR : 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 both

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)

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.

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.
