Hi

I have my extension of stay ( marriage ) until 22 March 2021..

My question is do I have to keep my bank account balance above 400,000 baht the whole time or can I lower the balance below 400,000 baht and top it up above 400,000 baht again 2 months before 22 March 2021?

Thanks in advance for your help😀

TLDR : Answer Summary
The requirement for a marriage visa extension in Thailand is that you must maintain a minimum bank balance of 400,000 baht in a Thai bank account solely in your name for at least two months before applying for the extension. This means you should have the required amount in your account at the time of application, and it is generally advised to keep it there until the extension process is completed.

The requirement for using banked money for a marriage extension IS

You need to have the 400K baht in a thai bank account in your name only for 2 months before you apply for the extension (NOT 2 months before your extension expires)

When you apply you'll get a 30 day under consideration stamp and some offices are asking you leave the money in the account until that time ends and you get your yearly extension inked in
