TLDR : Answer Summary

To satisfy the requirement for the 400,000 THB balance for a Thai marriage visa, the funds must generally be held in an account under the applicant's name only. While some immigration offices may allow a joint account with a Thai spouse, this typically entails doubling the required amount to 800,000 THB. It is important to confirm specific requirements with local immigration authorities.

i can use all of my wife's account.But she even cant see any transaction in my bank account.She doesnt care any money.She shares but i cant share my account to anybody.This is very strict privacy for me.Also nobody can touch my phone.I can finish my marriage if my wife touches and wants to check my phone.(She tried one time.And i catched her.And warned if i saw 2.time i finish everything i told her.She saw i am very serious.Now she doesnt check my phone.Doesnt touch.)Put the rules everything before marriage.Then will be ok.We are happy.

in your sole name only. Some Immigrations allow you use a common account with your Thai wife, but then the amount has to be DOUBLE - i.e. instead of 400,000.- THB there needs to be 800,000.- THB. . . . . . . In case the account is in your sole name, please make sure you set up a Thai Last Will which states that your wife will inherit your account. She will still need a court order, but this will ensure she will be granted access to your inheritance

One of the many reasons I went to the LTR Visa as it dies not require a Thai Bank Account. Now all my accounts are joint with my wife and Thai Court, after my death, has been avoided

Your name only.

Some offices may allow a joint account but then it needs double the money. Some offices will not allow a joint account at all.
