Hi can someone tell me. After I have my first marriage visa extension using the

400.000 baht in my Thai bank account

Then on my next year do I still need to

Show the 400-000 baht. Or can I just

Show my monthly income of over

40.000 a month with my Thai bank

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires whether it's necessary to maintain 400,000 baht in their Thai bank account for their subsequent marriage visa extension after the first extension has been granted using that amount. They also ask if showing a monthly income over 40,000 baht with bank statements could suffice for the next year. Comments suggest checking with the local immigration office, as policies may vary regarding income types accepted for visa extension.

if you just put the 400k baht in season it before each yearly extension then no you don’t need monthly income

You need to check with your immigration office. Some will only allow you to use monthly income if it's your pay from a job in Thailand, while others will allow you to use monthly international transfers into your bank account.
