Do funds for a Thai marriage visa or retirement visa have to be deposited from overseas or can they be deposited in Thailand?

Answer summary
Funds for a Thai marriage visa (Non-O) or retirement visa (Non-O) must meet specific requirements regarding their origin and maintenance in a Thai bank account. For a 90-day Non-O retirement visa, funds must be transferred from abroad into a Thai bank account in the applicant's name. For a one-year extension, there is no requirement to prove the origin of the funds, only that at least 800,000 baht has been in the account for the preceding two months. A similar rule applies to the marriage visa, where applicants only need to show the required amount has been in the account for two months, with no need to demonstrate where it came from. Furthermore, foreign women married to Thai men do not have any proof of funds requirements.

not unless his embassy issues the income from abroad affidavit 😕 If he's from a country that doesn't issue that letter anymore (US, UK, Australia) or from one that never issued it he can't use monthly income from abroad (by transfers into his thai bank account) for the initial 90 day Non-Immigrant visa OR the first year extension. To use that you have to show the previous 12 months of incoming monthly transfers for the minimum amount.
