Hi

Originally I planned to apply for marriage visa in Thailand. Family loss meant that I left Thailand and will apply from the Uk and show the 10k gbp they asking for.

Can the 400k that I placed into bkk bank in Jan this year now be moved and not required?

Thanks for advice
Answer summary
The original poster asks about the requirement to maintain 400,000 baht in a Thai bank while applying for a marriage visa from the UK after leaving Thailand. The comments clarify that the 400k requirement still applies, and suggest obtaining a different entry visa or a tourist visa to then apply for a 90-day Non-O visa.

Keep in mind that there are substantial insurance requirements when purchasing a Non-O visa based on marriage in the UK from a thai consulate (and they are not required to get the visa issued inside thailand)

I would recommend instead that you get a single entry tourist visa OR come in on a 30 day visa exempt entry and then go to your immigration office and apply for the 90 day Non-O visa for 2000baht.

You already have the funds in a thai bank account in your name, so you should be able to do it from a 30 day visa exempt entry OR a tourist visa entry

to be honest I checked google and it stated marriage didn’t need the medical insurance requirement so found this somewhat contradictory but I shall heed yr advice and do inside Thailand then on safe side.

nope, you will still need to bank 400K baht in a thai bank for 2 months before you apply for a year extension based on marriage inside the country
