Can I open a joint bank account in Thailand with my wife while on an O marriage visa?
Been in Thailand 5 years and I'm on a O marriage visa. I've had an account in my name for 3 years. I wanted to open an account together with my wife but was told new immigration rule doesn't allow it. Anybody else run into this?

Try Kasikorn my wife and I opened a joint account no problem, take your original marriage certificate, blue book, yellow book 'if you have one' and all ID

If you plan to use the account for your annual extension then keep it in your name. A joint account requires double the amount (as only half of it is yours) and some immigration offices won't allow it at all.

thank you very much for that info. 👍Steve **********
As long as it’s a separate account it doesn’t matter. Your visa account must be your name only.
You can open a new joint account without any consult from immigration. They’d never know the difference.
