TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring if they can spend some of the 400,000 THB required for their non-immigrant visa due to low exchange rates. Comments clarify that if the user has received their passport with the one-year extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai national, they can utilize the funds. However, if they are still under consideration for the extension, spending the funds is not advisable until the visa is officially granted.

Okay the O/P was already on the 30 day under consideration stamp for the year extension of stay based on marriage to a thai national and went back to get that inked in.

At this time they are DONE with any financial requirements based on marriage (the rule is 400K baht in the bank for 2 months before and some places want it in the bank for the 30 day under consideration period) SO he is free to use that funds in the account as he sees fit..

IF you have received your passport with the one year extension of stay as Married to Thai. Then you can spend money in the account.

IF you have just applied for the one year extension of stay as Married, and you have an UNDER CONSIDERATION STAMP...

DO NOT SPEND ONE BAHT.

Until AFTER the one year extension of stay as Married to Thai is STAMPED into your passport.
