ORIGINAL POSTER

If you don't have 400k baht in the bank two months before you require a 12 month marriage extension, can you extend for 60 via a family extension before applying for your 12 month extension to give the 400k time to season, or is that 60 day family extension the final extension permitted meaning you'll need to apply for a new 90 day non o? 

Also, is there any minimum balance required throughout the year on a marriage visa extension like there is for a retirement visa extension?

TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, you can apply for a 60-day family extension to allow your bank funds to season before applying for the 12-month marriage extension. There is no minimum balance required throughout the year on a marriage visa extension, unlike the requirements for a retirement visa.

The requirement is minimum 2 months prior application only but some Immigration Officers will tell or ask you to keep the funds in your bank account during the 30 day under consideration period which you get first.

@Robert ******

if they ask you to do that, it means you need to provide all of the financial documents again when receiving the additional 11 months stamp?

If they ask, nothing stops you to ask the conditions until all clear to you.

at Chang Wattana , just updated book on the day, at Koh Samui they never bothered. Depends on your local office. It's worth going to get the updated handout. Good luck :-)

Yes you can use the 60 day extension to season funds before the yearly one, and no, no requirements for balance during the year
