my female farang friend gets a marriage extension without showing any money in the bank. i guess immigration figures the thai husband is the bread winner so not necessary. thing is, i can find and official immigration docs about this. does anyonw know the exact rules for farang women married to thai men?

thx steve

The husband has to prove ability to support but do not believe there is any fixed requirement. In any marriage here the husband is expected to be the provider.

You can also read in an other thread from 2006-05-15, "Farang Woman Married Thai Man = Visa ?"

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=69247

rules are the same as any other marriage visa minus any income and savings requirements.

I did have to put down my employer I beleive and my job position, but I didn't have to show any salary slips or bank accounts.

We also had to answer some questions on how we met, our relationship...and the colour of our bedroom curtains. But that was about it.

If you want something official on this subject, you can find it on the website of the Immigration Bureau, under “Visa Extension”, second item from the top “to receive the support from a husband who is a Thai citizen or a Thai permanent resident (an non-Thai wife)”
