Do I Need to Show the Origin of Bank Funds for a Thai Marriage Visa Extension?

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi all, just a quick question as I am unsure on the answer. When you are using the banked money (400k) for a marriage to a Thai extension of stay, does the money in the bank have to show to be of international origin or not?

(As I want to use some of that money and replace it later)

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the moderators and experienced expats on this site for all their great information on this site. I successfully switched from an O-A visa, to a visa waiver, to an in country O visa and finally to an extension based on marrage this year and I couldn't have done all that without all the great information that you people provide.

Many thanks 🙏🏻

TLDR : Answer Summary

When applying for a marriage visa extension in Thailand, the funds in your bank account do not need to be of international origin. However, for an in-country 90-day Non-O visa, the funds must show they were transferred in from abroad, and should be held in your account for at least two months before applying for the extension.

IF you are applying for a yearly extension of stay (from an earlier extension OR a Non-O visa) you do not show where the money can from only that it was in your account for 2 months before you apply for the extension

BUT

IF you are applying for an in country 90 day Non-O VISA you show the money was transferred in from out of the country

Tod is correct. I did a 60-day extension of an Non-O yesterday at Chaengwatthana. The next one I will do is a 1-year extension with 400K in the bank and the IO said it doesn’t matter where the money comes from but it has to be in the account for 60 days before applying.
