TLDR : Answer Summary
The community consensus is that a Thai wife's bank account cannot be solely used for extending a marriage visa, as several comments explicitly state 'no.' One comment indicates that if a joint account is used, only 50% of the balance may be applicable. However, it is generally recommended that the funds should be in the applicant's name for the visa extension process.

It's not that easy, and most of all it is not self understood with every Immigration office. One needs to ask his Immigration first, if they accept a joint account with double a deposit in it. Some Immigrations won't allow

I really don’t understand your comment it’s not that easy ?

That’s why I made it very clear that I was talking Jomtien and I also made it very clear each office runs by its own rules

800k is only worth 400k as
*****
with your wife

Marriage visa is 400k

Must have been in there total 400k for 2 months prior

*** by the way I’m talking facts at Jomtien each immigration has their own rules they make up themselves

Why do you want to put yourself at risk? Get an account in your name only.
