entering on a tourist exemption visa and hopefully will change it over to a marriage visa, I am aware I have to have 400,000 in a Thailand bank account for 2 months before I can apply for marriage visa,
my question is can I spend the 400,000 after marriage visa is granted or does it have to stay in the bank so that every year when I go to immigration they have to see the money in the account?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the financial requirements needed for converting a tourist exemption entry into a marriage visa in Thailand. A key point raised is the necessity of showing 400,000 baht in a Thai bank account, which must be maintained for at least 2 months before applying for the marriage visa. Once the marriage visa is granted, there are varying opinions on whether that money can be spent immediately or if it needs to remain in the account for future immigration visits. Many participants share their experiences and advice regarding different immigration offices across Thailand, emphasizing the differences in local practices and requirements.
