Friend just recently applied for his NON IMM ‘O’ multi entry based on marriage and they requested 3 months bank statements. First I have heard of that for about 8 years.

If its the Singapore Thai embassy, it says on their website 400,000 baht at least, on a bank statement.

yes and that’s how it has been the last 7 times I have got mine there, however my friend just did his and it said that after review they wanted 3 months statements. The single statement he did show them had 80,000 dollars in BTW.

for the Non O multi entry based on being over 50 years of age, working as volunteer, married to a Thai National, father of a half Thai Child, father of a foreign child going to school in Thailand, married to a foreigner with long stay inside Thailand, just to name a few options with different requirements.
