How strict are they with the proof of funds for 2 months before application for extension based on marriage? For example I have a non o visa and have just opened a bank account and deposited 400k today. Due to Quarantine, the time it took to get an account opened and funds transferred I am concerned that When I apply for the extension it will not be a full 2 months unless I apply for the extension with only a bit over 1 week until my visa runs out... Funds deposited 25th Dec 2020, passport stamped until the 6th March 2021
TLDR : Answer Summary
The Thai immigration authorities are very strict regarding the proof of funds for visa extensions based on marriage. Specifically, for a Non-O visa, funds must be in the applicant's bank account for a full two calendar months before the date they apply for the extension, which means the timing of deposits is critical. If applicants are unable to meet the two-month requirement, they may consider applying for a 60-day family visit extension to allow time to comply. It's also vital to ensure that the funds in the account do not drop below the ฿400,000 requirement during the processing of the extension.
