What Are the Requirements for a Non-O Visa for Foreign Spouses in Penang?

Feb 26, 2020

Hi!

Has anyone recently applied Non-O Visa for Dependent (Foreign Spouse with Non-B) in Penang? What are the requirements and do they need to see our bank account with a specific amount in it? Cos I’ve heard different stories about this...

Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The Non-O visa application for foreign spouses of Non-B visa holders in Penang does not have a specific financial requirement. It is recommended to confirm documentation needed by contacting the consulate directly or having your spouse’s employer call them for clarification.

Either you call them OR have your husbands company call them and ask the confirm the documentation you need to get that 90 day Non-O before you slog down there..

there is no financial requirements for a spouse of a foreigner who legally works here on a Non-B visa/work permit for them to get a 90 day Non-O visa

You could have the company your spouse is employed by call the consulate in penang and ask though.

They speak english fine there;

Yes it was based on marriage to a Thai national. When I was in Vientianne late last year they requested proof of finances for non-immigrant o single entry visa but accepted a bank statement. The consulate in Penang specifically requested a current Thai bank book as evidence to be submitted for multiple entry visas. I was able to procure the multiple entry visa non-immigrant o from the consulate in HCMC a few weeks ago without having to show proof of finances.

This was also my experience when I was there last year. They asked me for a Thai bank book with the funds for non-immigrant o multiple entry but not for 90 days single entry visa.
