Hello, the first year of my non imm spouse visa is coming to an end and its time to renew. Is it 2 or 3 months the 400k has to be in the bank before the application date?

Also, i know BKK bank requires 4 months, did any other banks sign on with this?

This will be done at CW immigration in BKK

Thanks for any information.
Answer summary
The consensus among commenters suggests that the 400,000 THB must be in the bank for at least 2 months for the initial application and 3 months for renewal for a Non-Immigrant Spouse Visa in Thailand. There is mention of Bangkok Bank having a specific requirement of 4 months for issuing a letter to immigration, while other banks like Kasikorn Bank (Kbank) may not have this strict rule. It's advised to keep the funds in the bank continuously and not touch them.

3 months before for the initial application and 4 months before for the renewal. It is best to put the money in the bank all year round in an account and not touch it.
