Can I extend my marriage visa in Thailand using foreign income while living abroad?

I believe that the OP has the answers needed for his question.

Thanks all for your helpful replies.

I think you will NOT be able to switch from earned income inside the country to foreign income from abroad as proof of funds for the marriage extension without you transferring a minimum of 40K baht a month each month every month into a thai bank account in your name only for the previous 12 months before you apply for the next yearly extension.

ALSO we are getting sporadic reports that offices are denying extensions based on marriage when using income from abroad via transfers into your thai bank account..

I was at Chaengwattana when someone was denied the extension even though they had proof of transferring 40K baht a month into their account for the past year.

They were told they couldn't use foreign income (only legal income from working in thailand).

Luckily, they were given a 60 day visit thai family extension and got the 400K baht banked so they can get the year once it seasons for 2 months

Oh and there's no amount of time you have to be IN the country, you can get your year extension, a re-entry permit and then leave the whole year if you want to as long as you get back before your extension expires to apply for another one you're fine
