If I apply for a 1 year stay extension based on marriage using 400k transferred to a Thai Bank account to meet the financial requirements then leave those funds in the account untouched can I use those funds to apply for a stay extension next year on the basis that they were transferred from overseas and have been in the account for more than 2 months? A friend told me that he has been doing this for years but I wanted to confirm that it is an acceptable practice.
Answer summary
You can use the funds that have been transferred to your Thai bank account for your stay extension application as long as they have been in the account for at least two months. There is no maximum limit on how long the funds can remain untouched, and your friend’s experience aligns with the rules.

No problem to keep your funds untouched for your extension application. Your funds need to be in your Thai bank account for no less than two months as of your application date and no limit on the maximum period. That is the only requirement you need to meet regarding financial proof, no need to be even an international transfer either.

@Ellie ******
Thank you. It is more convenient for me to keep the funds for the purpose of stay extension in one account and use piecemeal transfers to another account for living expenses rather than transferring 400k every year.
