ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello,

I posted another post but I think it’s pointless trying to come back to phuket to get a non o marriage visa based on my passport stamps with too many tourist entries.

I’ll probably get turned away, it’s not wort. The risk.

I’m going to apply as suggested to me to get a non o marriage visa before I leave the UK for Thailand.

My only question is the £10,000 I have to show on an official document when applying, how long does it need to be seasoned in my UK bank account?

Is it only 1 day?

Or 2 months?

I went on the royal thai embassy of London and it doesn’t say a period of time.

Just that I have to prove I have those funds in my account.

I have my money in investments and I can put the £10k into my bank account today and apply if it’s only 1 day.

Thanks in advance 🙏

TLDR : Answer Summary

When applying for a Non-O marriage visa, there is no stated time limit for how long the required £10,000 needs to be in your UK bank account. The confusion often arises regarding the two-month seasoning period, but that applies only when you are extending your visa in Thailand and requires the equivalent of 400,000 THB to be in a Thai bank account for two months. For the initial visa application, you can deposit the funds shortly before applying.

For the initial type O 90 day visa there is no time limit on how long the equivalent of bt400,000 has to be in your personal account. The two months time period only applies when you apply for your one year extension inside Thailand with your Thai bank account. At that point the bt400,000+ must be in your Thai bank account for at least two months before you apply for your one year extension.
