There is no such multiple non-o expect from your hometown or country of residence and a proof of funds is a must 

in other words if you are not a permanent resident in LAOS you can't get any multiple just single 90 days 

Some people here they won't get my point, some I guess Thais or Thailand lovers 

i will try to explain : I mean a married men, stable, with kids why he needs every year to run to the immigration and show many proofs , then getting a stamp of under consideration , reporting every 90 days, TM30 , all these trips for what?? and every year the same story again, when I said passport or ID I don't mean in the european way, I mean just comply with the  Thai law or what they call it law of cpourse having a Thai ID or passport doesn't have any benifit as freedom of travel or making loan, credit cards...forget .. all that I mean stop the humilation and trips, usless trips also, all the fact is just to be headaches free The Thai visa is required to comply with law but not to have any benifit is like you are doing something you actually don't need , but when a Thai spouse get a permit of stay in EU that's already a big step of advantages

Your suggestion that if you are married to someone much younger than you, you will be rejected for a UK Settlement visa (or any other UK visa for that matter) is complete nonsense.

From the UK case I can understand because they reaaly care about family, but Thailand they ask you to have money just a kind of copying other laws without benifits, for me I don't mind if a country like the UK will ask a load of conditions because until today most of the europeans work in the UK , there is a lot of job , a lot of money there , in vfeif there are many things your get in return when you fullfil the requirments, in Thailand you fullfil the requirments and you need to do more and more every day for nothing in exchange

The Non-O-A Visa is based on retirement.  The qualifications for an extension based on marriage are also easier - 40K/mo or 400K in the bank.  You are also allowed to work on a Non-O or annual-extension based on Marriage.  A single-entry to start this process has no financials needed, at most Thai consulates around the world.

 

But, yes, they keep us on a short-leash - even if married to a Thai.  Don't hold your breath that this will ever change.  It may even be made more difficult to stay in the future (that's not a prediction, just a possibility).

 

Your only options to avoid the annual assessment as to whether you can stay with your family here, are Permanent Residency or Citizenship - neither of which is easy.  Citizenship is generally considered the better choice if you are Married to a Thai, since it is not something that can vanish if you are gone a year, or forget to get a re-entry permit (yes, really) - and it is less-expensive - and only somewhat more difficult to get.

Yes, i got your point, but this visa is given a base on marriage or money? I never met this combination in any other country, by the way, not all people they have 400K, and in somehow they tell them to run to near embassies, this is a humiliation, someone's wife have decent job and ear 100K what does she need from a husband if she's not serious in relation

Thailand, neither other 3rd world countries asked or can influence European laws, but Europe is not a zone of racism and xenophoby neither a zone that needs others t scam them! European laws are democratic, Humanitarian, fair, yes each country have its own immigration policy and this policy can show how is democratic and honest is the country

Asking a bunch of paper and money from foreigner husbands staying in Thailand is not a power as you think otherwise you won't be sunk in the world bank debts!

is just taking advantage or a social phobia turned into politics 

The basic salary by the ministry of labor is 300 THB/ Day and will raise this year to 318 THB/Day, 318 x 8 = 9.540 THB.

20K without degree it's more than fair, but still, some people in Bangkok, Rayong, Samut Prakan can make 60K to 200K, those working for foreign companies and able to speak in English with some experience of work

I know a Thai men who work as a finance manager in  a Norwegian company make 500K/ Month

What does need a spouse of an EU citizen need to settle in Europe? I do not think that they need more than a passport 

I'm not sure how some foreigners get advantage in Thailand and makes money, but for me i just spend only....we have nothing to blame immigration officials are tough and proud because they believe to be Thai and Thai is a semit more than a jewish ( for their thinking ) and the european embassies in Thailand what are they doing?? im 13 years in Thailand and i know the country if you accept to give your finger they will ask your hand thern your arm then all of you..what western citizen suffer is a result of their hypocrisy and double standarisation , western embassies are active with big mouth only in Africa , and middle east ..and some poor countries in Asia
