Thanks for your reply, but I'm not asking about anything. My reply to OP was based on actual facts, having moved out and still visiting EU with Thai girlfriend. It's different requirements for a girlfriend compared to a married couple. «If you are unmarried or traveling for a standard tourist visit, you do not fall under the strict EU free-movement rules. The embassy will treat your application as a standard Schengen visit: The Sponsor's Finances: Your sponsor can still fund the trip. They must provide official proof of income, such as recent bank statements, pay stubs, and a formally notarized or official letter of sponsorship (depending on the specific country's embassy guidelines). The Thai Applicant's Finances: Even with a sponsor, it is highly recommended that you show a stable personal financial background in Thailand (e.g., personal bank statements showing a consistent history, employment letter, or property ownership). This proves your economic ties to Thailand and your intention to return home, which is a major factor in visa approval. 3. General Financial Benchmarks While there is no fixed global minimum, most Schengen embassies require the applicant (or sponsor) to show a daily spending capacity of approximately €50 to €100 per day for the duration of the trip, in addition to pre-paid flights and accommodation.»
