Do I need to keep 400,000 THB in my Thai bank account for a marriage visa, and can I use that money?

So is a document showing a min of 100k deposit per month for life for a marriage visa not accepted. I thought that it was either 400k or a minimum income requirement

I am married to a Thai man and have been living in Thailand for a long time. I have never had to show any income . However last week when I applied for my COE I had to show statement that I had at least $700 in the bank. That’s all.

Thank you Micheal for the clarification

What City or Village do you live I can give some information for visa entensions in Pattaya.

Some immigration offices ask for the money to be there during the 1 month under consideration period

Okay

@Sa**

, You got some good and some total shit answers on here..

We will go under the premise that you are a foreign FEMALE (seeing as that's what your profile says) :P

As

@J**

correctly stated foreign females marrying thai males do NOT need to have the 400K baht in a bank account (in fact there is no financial requirement at all).

EDITED: It now appears the O/P is indeed a female foreigner BUT she is OUTSIDE of thailand and trying to get a 90 day Non-O visa based on marriage from a thai consulate in the country she is in. Unfortunately she is going to have to meet the requirements they have :(

Foreign Women married to a Thai man do not have to prove any financial requirement - None

If your not female then has to be there for 2 months before and 2 month after

Uhmm you are female i gather from name sara ? You dont need to prove money in bank

Leave the money in the bank for the year after.

Intrest pays for the renewal costs.

Why take the money out, spend it, and have to put in again the year after....

good question, soon I gonna be in the same situation 🙏

have to have money in thai bank with ur name. After got the visa u can take the money out ,no need to show again every 90 days report just yearly when u renewed ur visa again
