"He repeated, marriage non o multiple show funds? Mi dawng cup (translation: no need, krap). I would have probably wrote it like this Mai dtawng, krab, but no big deal, I think many understood. The Consular employee answered the query in Thai that there is 'no need to show funds'. Thank you - understand now.... Glegolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer as you can see indicates no funds. So no grey area Thanks that would seem to clear things up then .Not sure how this got started in the first place .

khaepmu Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Is this a requirement for the Non-O based on marriage? If so, would a letter from the embassy guaranteeing that you have more than 65,000 Baht coming in every month carry any weight? How about a joint bank account with your Thai wife that has more than a million baht in it? I don't know why, but joint accounts don't seem to work with Thai immigration.

So far we have had 60 posts, most of them speculative, based on what is nothing more than hearsay. And that hearsay does not even specify what type of visa the applicant applied for. I plan to go to Savannakhet myself this year for a multi-entry based on marriage, so I am following this thread closely. So please, for everyone's sake, can we have information based on fact. Not hearsay and rumour. I'm sure that there are plenty of members who would appreciate that. I would say its hearsay Retrieved my passport from Savanahket Thai Embassy along with 2 others (that I met ) at 2pm with ME Marriage Visas on the Friday the 16 th of June, only needing ( I think ) 4 documents & of we went in the same Tuk Tuk & that's fact as we had a drink or 2 across the road the previous day when we applied 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hathairat2711 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Simply Hearsay. Until you hear anything 'OFFICIAL', no funds are required to obtain a multi non-immigrant O visa from Savannakhet. This thread did make me laugh. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 21/06/2017 at 2:38 PM, Jonathan Fairfield said: Well just more confusion. We've just got off the phone with the consulate in Savannakhet who could only confirm that UK nationals do not need to show 200,000 THB when applying for Non O. However, the officer told us that they are asking for the requirement from some nationalities but said they could not specify which nationalities over the phone. I'm expecting a call back from the consulate this afternoon to try and get more clarity. I'll update here as soon as I hear anything.

I think I will wait and see what really happens.. I personally doubt that a immigration office would be aware of what a embassy or consulate will do or plans on doing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanook Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Possible that several incidents of marriage fraud have something to do with the apparent confusion at the consulate. May explain why jabsjabs and Jeab1980 were told 'no funds needed', but admin Jonathan Fairfield was told certain nationalities needed to show funds.
