Hello everyone and Happy New Year.
I’m applying for a Non-O Marriage visa for the first time (Laos / Vientiane) and I’d appreciate advice from people who have real experience.
I fully meet the 400,000 THB financial requirement, but I’m unsure how to correctly present the 3-month bank documentation in my situation.
The required funds are held in my Norwegian savings account under my name. This bank does not issue monthly statements for savings accounts, only an annual statement or an official letter confirming account ownership and current balance.
My Norwegian personal current account shows zero balance and no activity in recent months, simply because I haven’t been using it. Until now, I have been staying in Thailand on extensions, and this account hasn’t been practical for everyday use here.
I primarily pay myself from my business account directly to Wise, which I use as my main account for daily expenses, together with my wife’s Thai bank account, which is in her name.
I’m getting mixed information... some say Wise statements are accepted, others say they are not. I’m not asking about moving funds, only about how to properly document the last 3 months.
In this case, would you submit 3-month statements from the personal account even if they show only 0 balance and 0 transactions, or would you use Wise statements, or a combination of both? How is this usually handled in practice?
Thanks in advance for any insight.🙏
