Staying with thai husband

@Aaliyah ******

No, foreign wife of thai men are excused the financial requirements. This is well known.

no financial requirements for foreign women married to a thai man

It’s cash equal to 20K USD into Thailand. You’ll have to check how much you can bring out yourself. In US is 10K USD.

You don’t need to wait until your 50 years, but you’ll need to prove £ 9,300 to apply and two months each year prior to your yearly application for extension of stay.

Some immigrations accept proof of a monthly income of minimum £ 930 for your yearly extension of stay.

That’s the requirement for apply for a Non O visa based on marriage and yearly extension of stay in Thailand.

If you apply for the Non O visa at the embassy before you leave, this is the requirement at the Thai embassy in London.

Nothing against agents who earn a living and do a fair job for a reasonable price, but there’s always a bounce of agents willing to “help” you for 20-30 000 baht by doing a job with real cost 1900 baht and you’ll need to provide most documentation yourself, or agents who are even willing to lend you some money for some days so your whole stay technically is illegal. And you see here, OP’s agent didn’t even advise him fairly be telling him the other option with the income method because he could lose a client.

Agree if that’s the case. Normally not easy to just jump off the agent-train without leaving and apply from scratch if formal requirements aren’t fulfilled for previous extensions.

You can’t convert a Non O-A visa into a Non O visa. You’ll have to leave, cancel it and re-enter on visa exemption or tourist visa and apply for a Non O from scratch in country or apply at an embassy/consulate outside Thailand.

Non O-A gives you up to two years in Thailand if you update your health insurance and after that you can apply for yearly extension of stay on the same conditions as a Non O visa, but you’ll need to maintain your mandatory health insurance also for your future extensions of stay.

For the first year you’ll need to prove 800K baht and for your second year you can switch to the income method by showing proof of twelve months consecutive transfers of minimum 65K baht a month.

It’s always been 800K baht for your first year (unless your embassy offers to provide you an affidavit letter regarding income) and 800K baht OR twelve months consecutive transfers of minimum 65K baht. Welcome to the real world without an agent.
