Extension of stay based on lump sum deposit (Married to Thai) - (and couple of other related questions, cos I not use that extension method for years) ?
Before I use the affidavit from Embassy and evidence of monthly transfers. However, because of difficulties related to overseas transfer bank code etc., I decided to switch to lump sum 400k deposit.
Where I may find example of bank letter (Bangkok Bank if this important)?
Should I get this letter a day before application?
The lump sum must be deposited 2 months before application - is this still correct, and how these months are calculated? For example, If I deposited funds at the end of December, will be good to apply in the first days March, or I should calculate some amounts of day (for example, funds deposited on 22 December + 60 days, good to apply on 22 February)?
On the day to get final stamp, should I transfer some small amount to account then update bank book to show the funds still at account?
Thank you so much
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking guidance on extending their stay in Thailand based on a lump sum deposit of 400,000 THB as they are married to a Thai citizen. They are curious about the process, specifically about the requirements for a bank letter from Bangkok Bank, the correct timing for the lump sum deposit before their application, and if they need to perform any transactions on the day of application. Comments suggest checking with the local immigration office for the latest requirements and clarify that the two-month seasoning period is calculated on a date-to-date basis rather than by total days.
