Can I use my 400,000 baht in the bank after applying for my marriage visa extension?

The general advice is to avoid using the 400,000 baht in the bank until your marriage visa extension is fully stamped and approved, which typically takes place after the consideration period. While some individuals have mentioned they were never asked to prove funds while their application was under consideration, it is recommended to be cautious and keep the funds intact until the extension is confirmed. Additionally, it's suggested that the money should be restored to the required amount at least two months prior to any subsequent application.
