Do the 400,000 baht for a Non-O immigrant visa need to come from overseas for the marriage extension?

Question

Non O immigrant visa to 12 month extension "marriage Visa".
The 400.000 baht need to be from overseas, i get that. But my question is i did 4 transfers with Revolut. 2 smaller transfers show very clearly "international transfer from Revolut) The other 2 have zero description and only show "transfer with Bahtnet".
Somebody have more experience with this?
I dont want to have issues in 60 days when i apply for my first 12 month extension...
Or maybe it's better to go to immigration now to ask if this is going to be accepted in 2 months?

The user is confused about the source of funds required for a 12-month extension of their Non-O visa, specifically whether the 400,000 baht must originate from overseas. Several commenters clarify that there is no official stipulation requiring the funds to be from abroad. Instead, they emphasize that the funds can come from within Thailand, and the important factor is maintaining the required amount in the bank account for a specified period (two months). The user is advised to confirm with the immigration office directly to ensure their situation meets the necessary requirements.

Why would the money need to be from overseas? Why would people who have/had jobs in Thailand not have the right to stay in Thailand on the basis of a marriage?

Michael ******** · Answer

I can confirm the money does not need to come from overseas. Just did it. Ask the office you will use, not what someone thinks or 'you heard'.

Barry ****** · Answer

it sometimes gets sent via another bank.

Go to your bank and get more info on the transaction. You will also have to go to the other bank too.

To avoid the issue, Bangkok bank almost always receives international transfers from abroad as international transfers as long as you don't use fintech companies to make the transfer. Wise might be an exception to the rule where they let you specify that in the reason

I don't know where you read that, as I could not find anything that said the 400K baht needed to come from abroad 🙁  Not when getting the initial Non-O or a year extension

There is no requirement that the funds have overseas origin

Keep in mind the seasoning for the 400K baht banked money method for marriage extension is TWO MONTHS not 60 days (two months isn't always 60 days 🙂 )
