Does a joint bank account count for meeting the financial requirements for a Thai visa extension?

I have been reading comments on this subject and immigration are saying there will be lenience this year as a one of with reference to funds being transferred every month either 65k non 0 extension or the 40k marriage extension,

However it had to be noted that it will be up to the io on the day.

Okay, lets sort this out, While you may have been using the monthly income method the immigration office didn't care ONE BIT where that money went once you brought it in here (OR in fact if you even did bring it into the country at all)

That's because you were using the embassy notary letter to show proof of funds.

NOW you can't do that and you will need to transfer in a minimum of 65K baht per month into a thai bank account.

I believe the immigration office will make it a bank account in your name only like they do for people who use banked money. It would be bad for you to have a year's worth of transfers into a joint account and then to have them say it needed to be into an account in your name only.

Then I still believe it needs to be in your name only. Let us know what you find out. Also if only your name...need to consider Thai Will to make sure your Thai is named beneficiary. Thailand does not have a Beneficiary on Death choice to name on your bank account...as we do in the USA.

Is the other person Thai ?

Thailand sees joint account as the sum on the account is from all account holders. So banked money should than be double. But with these new rule of showing monthly deposits coming in from abroad I have no idea how Immigration is looking at this.

Assuming this is for retirement one year extension of stay...

No...must be in your individual bank account if the visa is for yourself.
