TLDR : Answer Summary

To prove an income of 40,000 Baht per month for a marriage visa in Thailand, you have several options depending on your country of origin. You can either provide an Income Affidavit from your Embassy, or if your embassy does not issue such affidavits, you must show at least 12 months of monthly foreign deposits of a minimum of 40,000 Baht into a Thai bank account in your name before your application date. Alternatively, you can also prove your income through employment in Thailand with a minimum salary of 40,000 Baht per month, supported by a work permit and tax documentation. Note that some embassies have stopped issuing affidavits, thereby requiring applicants to use bank deposit proof instead.

There are 4 consulates that stopped issuing affidavit of income from abroad notary letters (UK, US, Australia and Denmark). People from those countries that want to use monthly income as the method to meet the proof of funds HAVE to transfer into a thai bank account in their name the minimum required for the extension they want (40K baht a month for extensions based on marriage and 65K baht a month for extension based on retirement).

@Stuart *******

IF you do not legally work here (wiht a work permit) and you want to use monthly income as the method of meeting the proof of financial requirements for a yearly extension based on marriage as a UK passport holder the ONLY way you can do it is to transfer a minimum of 40K baht per month in to a thai bank account in your name only each month every month for the previous 12 months. That is the only way you can meet the financial requirements using monthly income

If you mean a marriage visa as in Extension of Stay based on being married to a Thai National, It depends on the country of origin and how/where you make your income. 1) an Income Affidavit from your Embassy, or 2) if your embassy does not provide, at least 12 months of monthly foreign deposits of minimum 40.000 Thb into a Thai bank account on your name before application date Or 3) your Thai salary of minimum 40.000 Thb a month backed up with the work permit, 3 months tax payment and social security payments from you and the 4 Thai staff

From abroad into a Thai bank account in YOUR name and the transfers must be labelled as International transfer. You write you send money from paypal to your wifes account, your wifes account is NOT yours, from her account you sent money into YOUR accout that is a National Transfer and NOT an International Transfer.

The currency does not matter, you need to proof that you have an income of at least 40.000 Thb made abroad. You can not do that by transfers from your wifes Thai bank account into your Thai Bank account

No option 1. Than if you work inside Thailand option 3 if you not work inside Thailand option 2, every month a minimum of 40.000 Thb comes in from abroad into your Thai bank account in your name
