Do I need proof of recent international transfers for my Thai marriage visa application?

Nov 10, 2025

Probably been covered before, but couldn't find any information. I will be changing from a Retirement extension to a marriage visa next year. I will apply for a Non O based on marriage in UK before I come back, the detail i have. 

I already retain 800k in my Bangkok Bank Account. I know I need 400k held for two months before I apply. Whilst all has been international transfers, it would probably require 2, maybe 3 years of bank statements to show evidence. 

My question: Preferably experience from Phuket Immigration Office, but generally, experience is also useful. Do I need to provide evidence that the 400k has been recently transferred i to my account?  Thank you

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user is transitioning from a Retirement extension to a Marriage visa in Thailand and is seeking clarification on the financial requirements. They want to know if they need to provide proof of a recent transfer for the requisite 400,000 Baht held in their bank account for two months, particularly when applying for a Non-O visa based on marriage from the UK. Responses indicate that as long as the funds have been maintained, there may not be a need to prove international transfers. Additionally, some suggest simply altering the existing extension from Retirement to Marriage could be more straightforward.

My question to you is WHY would you get a new Non-O visa from the thai consulate in the UK before you come back ?

Why not just change the reason for your current extension from retirement to marriage when it comes due?

What is the advantage of breaking the extension chain and getting a new Non-O visa before?

You just change the reason for your extension and of course a whole lot more paperwork provided your extension is still good

If you apply for an extension based on being married to a Thai, there is no requirement that funds have to be internationally transferred. You just need to have maintained 400K baht for 2 months as of the extension application day.
