thai man marrying alien

[wilkis333]

I have checked that there is no financial requirement for thai man marrying alien. Does someone know the reason?

There are no financial requirements for an Alien to marry a Thai woman

[wilkis333]

We need to put 400,000 in the bank or we must show the income source, right?

We need to put 400,000 in the bank or we must show the income source, right?

That is for acquiring an extension of stay based on the marriage, not for the actual marriage.

I assume you might be asking about an extension of stay for a foreign woman that is married to a Thai man.

If so, then the foreign woman does not need to have 400k in the bank or an income. That rule only applies to foreign men married to a Thai women.

Alien Man married to Thai Woman needs to show 400,000 Baht in the bank or 40,000 monthly income. For 12 month extension.

Alien Woman married to Thai Man needs to show nothing in the bank for 12 month extension.

This is because of the discrimination shown towards Thai Women and is shameful.

A Thai Man has the right to live with his foreign Wife with very little requirements.

A Thai Woman does not have to same rights to live with her foreign husband.

Sexist discrimination by a third world country.

OMG is this true? I read and read and do not understand what the meaning is of this? Reagrding original post... No there is no reason for having financial requirement for a thai man marying a falanglady!! of course not.. why should a thai man have that???

Second post is completely wrong... of course there is requirements.....

Third post + 4thy post is just hangiong on.....

I think in fact., that original post is asking and meaning that there is no financial requirements for a falanglady that is marrying a thai man??? Yes.... And yes there are NOT any requirements..

I know I'm going to get a load of -------- for this, but let's look at it from a different way or ways. A non Thai marries a Thai lady and is required to show that financially he can support her and any future children.

A non Thai marries a Thai lady and in Thailand the married couple have have no recourse to social security or medical treatment etc etc. Yes I know it's the same for for a Thai man getting married to a non Thai lady.

Compare that to the situation where a non EU or UK resident gets married to a non EU or UK resident and ends up with all the benefits that haven't been paid for.

I would make a guess that 99% of Thai men that marry a non Thai lady are financially and socially secure and don't need the Nanny state to look after them.

It's a fact that Thailand doesn't want a load of non Thai men to marry their Thai ladies and not be capable of looking after the family, direct family I mean.

I have no argument with that.

Total rubbish. It is discrimination against women. Simple as that.

A Thai male cannot legally marry another male, Thai or alien in Thailand

Correct. This is an English translation of the current, discriminatory version of the clause 2.18(6) for aliens married to a Thai national (highlighting in bold is mine):

In the case of marriage to a Thai woman, the alien husband must earn an average annual income of no less than Baht 40,000 per month or must have no less than Baht 400,000 in a bank account in Thailand for the past two months to cover expenses for one year.

To elimate this blatent discrimination on the basis of gender, which was in violation of the last constitution of Thailand and will likely be also in violationof the next constitution, the above clause would have to amended to read as follows:

In the case of marriage to a Thai national, the alien must earn an average annual income of no less than Baht 40,000 per month or must have no less than Baht 400,000 in a bank account in Thailand for the past two months to cover expenses for one year.

Why not? It's a good system
