TLDR : Answer Summary
The use of a joint bank account for visa requirements in Thailand is generally not accepted by immigration offices. While some individuals have reported that their immigration offices accepted joint accounts, many emphasized that if such accounts are accepted, you must have double the required amount in the account, as only 50% of the funds can be claimed. It is advisable to check with your local immigration office for confirmation.
