What is the financial requirement to obtain a marriage visa. I know it's 400k , but what is the monthly?

I am looking at the Thai Embassy Los Angeles web site... I am confused.. I thought that one only needed the funds in the bank two months prior to the 90 day visa expires.

please explain.. maybe I am not looking at the correct info ..

would like to obtain the 90 day visa and then apply for the marriage visa after 60 days..

here is what is on the Thai Embassy Los Angeles web site.

Required documents to upload in the system (Large and clear JPEG or PDF format) to stay with Thai family residing in Thailand (more than 60 days):

1. Passport Biodata Page or Travel Document (Must be valid within 6 months from travel date)

2. Photograph of the applicant, taken within the past six months

3. Document indicating current location (driving license, bank statement, or proof of stay)

4. Recent bank statement showing the applicant's name and ending balance of no less than $15,000 or proof of monthly income of not less than $1,500/month) along with the current bank statement showing incoming income

5. Personal details of a family in Thailand, e.g. valid Thai ID card or Thai Passport

6. Proof of relationship to a family in Thailand (immediate family only), e.g. A copy of marriage certificate / birth certificate / certificate of adoption

if this is not the visa I want.. please to direct me to the correct visa.

Thank you

Hallo me and my wife want to visit and stay 6 months

What visa type do we need?

Hi everyone. I'm after a bit of advice. I want to obtain a O-A visa in the UK and come to Thailand. I understand that it lasts for 12 months and that I can leave the country and come back in and get another 12 months. What I want to know is, can I continue to do this every year or is there a limit. I do realise that I need 12 months insurance initially to get it. Many thanks.

Hello! I am seeking clarification on my Ed-Visa extension, which is due to expire on 10th July, although my language program ends on 10th May; is it permissible for me to remain in Thailand until 10th July?

Hi everyone, I am British and have lived in Thailand working remotely for many years already. I am back in the UK now and was getting ready to apply for the DTV visa from London but have recently read in here how they are requesting tax statements / returns. I don't pay tax so I would not be able o show that info - I don't make the threshold in the UK - I do have tax returns to prove this. My question is, would it be best for me to apply for the soft power instead of the workation to avoid any tax issues / would I need to actually be paying tax for this to be accepted?

My First DTV Entry Experience: Flying from New Delhi to Bangkok

At New Delhi airport, the flight check-in desk asked for my return ticket. I showed them a dummy one. Then, I asked the staff member if she wanted to see my visa as well. She looked surprised and asked, “You have a visa?” I showed it to her, and she had no further questions.

In New Delhi, airline staff often ask for hotel bookings, return tickets, and, in some cases, proof of funds. However, at immigration, I was not asked any questions.

Upon arrival in Bangkok, I simply handed the officer my DTV printout and passport. Without any questions, she stamped my passport with 180 days of stay.

Has anyone experienced a DTV visa border bounce to Laos by train? I’d really appreciate it if you could share your experience, as this is my first time extending my DTV visa.

If I want to spend less than 180 days a year in thailand, isn’t it a good option to do 60 days exemption visa with 30 days extension twice a year?

Hi everyone, I am retiring in 2026 and I am planning to move to Chiangmai. I will retire with a monthly pension and Health Insurance and want to start planning which visa would be best for me.
