How long do I need to keep 400,000 baht in the bank after my marriage extension is granted in Thailand?

@Tod ********

thanks a lot

@Jonathan ************

the 30 day under consideration stamp is the first month of your next yearly extension. If you look at the stamp you get when you go back it's only good for 11 months :O

sorry to belabour the point, but to be clear?

@Tod ********

many thanks, but does one have to apply for the extension based on marriage 30 days before the expiry of the extension for retirement, or does the 30 day under consideration period count as part of a future extension?

@Jona****

the seasoning for the banked money for a yearly extension based on marriage to a thai is TWO months BEFORE you apply for the extension (not 2 months before your current extension expires)

There technically is NO seasoning for the 400K baht banked money for raising half thai children (as in there is none listed in the police order).

You can apply for a new extension right up until the day you current one expires (although I wouldn't wait that long in case you are a document short or something)

if changing from an extension based on retirement to one based on marriage MUST one apply 30 days before the retirement extension expires--ie leaving the 400k in the bank for THREE months prior to the expiry of the retirement extension? Can i wait if applying for an extension based on support of my Thai son until just before the retirement extension expires? Assuming all other docs and requirements are OK. My problem is the timing/ availability of the 400k. I may be OK with the monthly 40k plus but as a plan B???

he does not get or apply for a visa.

Samut Prakan.

Barry Burbridge which Immigration Office? one year ago I was applying with 400k for the first time in Chaengwattana, when collecting stamp they asked me for bank book, I didn't have (nobody told me I should), so they said to bring next year

@Robert ******

I had kept my money in the bank and updated my bank book this morning prior to receiving my one year extension based on marriage Incase they asked.

They did not.
