Do I need to deposit 400,000 baht in a savings or current account for a marriage visa in Thailand?

I’m pretty sure almost half of the comments here is posted by people who didn’t care whether their unbelievable wisdom has any relevance to the question from the OP.

So let me add something extremely important (equally not) related to the question:

Songkran is in April.

Have a great day, all, and remember you shouldn’t be drinking when posting or commenting on Facebook.

To the OP: Sorry that you have to wade through all the rubbish in your thread. My suggestion is to repeat your post, but not on a Friday when the bar visitors crawl out of their holes of boredom and meaningless lives. 🤣

The answer to your question:

In Thailand they refer to a current account as “Savings account”. It’s the same thing.

It goes in a black hole 🕳️ which pretty much sums it all up!

Why not bring her to your country for marriage. heck of a lot cheaper and easier!

400 000 in a saving account, like mine ,So, to be in the account for three months to be on saveside , and note from the bank saying that the money is still in it and six months of transactions it must not go lower than 400,000 buats at any time, or 3months will start from time it's back to 400,000 buats so 3months before you apply for the visa or extention of yearly extention

Obviously Baht 😁

My pension is only 30.000 a month, Will I still be able to retire there

it has to be saving account .

Don't get married, and keep your money.

An instant access thai savings account is fine.

You need deposit to thai account for 12 month extension and season funds 2 months.. For initial visa you can show your foreign account statements. When i did apply they needed 15.000€ balance and 6 month statements.

There isn't really a difference between those in Thailand. They call current accounts saving accounts.

prove that you have an income of more than 40,000 bht a month easy or if you want retire an income of more than 80,000bht a month.

No you don't you only have to prov

It has to be in account that is immediately accessible

Saving account is the easiest option to keep the immigration happy as you can get the money transferred into your account in your country
