Can I use the 400,000 THB in my bank account after receiving my 1-year marriage visa in Thailand?

@Stuart ********

. Isn't suggested. It's mandatory to leave it above 400k for the 30 day under consideration. I know this because I've done 4x yearly spouse extensions. You have to show bankbook again with minimum balance of 400k since stamp 30 days prior

that seems to be office specific. In your office it obviously is. In others it may not be. I do not know the rules of each of the 70+ offices so cannot confirm.

@Stuart ********

. Ok.. perhaps leave out the "maybes" and " suggesteds" from advice. I'm yet to hear of an office that doesn't require it. My office was bkk which does the vast majority of them based on population .

My advice is do it anyway and you can't get caught out, or clarify it with your specific office when applying. The headaches are huge if you stuff it up.
