When opening a bank account to file for retirement visas, should we, as a married couple, open separate accounts or can we deposit 1600k in a single account with both our names. Last names not the same...if that matters
TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a retirement visa in Thailand, a married couple can use a joint bank account to meet the required deposit amount, provided they deposit double the required 800,000 THB, since both names are on the account. However, it's advised to check with the local immigration office as their acceptance of joint accounts may vary. Alternatively, one spouse can deposit 800,000 THB in their own account and the other can apply for a trailing spouse extension based on the spouse's retirement visa.
