I am trying to fulfill the new financial requirements for my 1 year extension on my Non-O Visa based on marriage. I have a question regarding the bank account. I am having a very hard time finding a bank that will open a bank account for me as I do not have a work permit and do not work in Thailand. Only one bank would open an account for me but only if it were a joint account with both my name and my wife's name on it. Would that be acceptable or not? Any information about this would be appreciated. Cheers.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking clarification on whether having a joint bank account with their Thai spouse would satisfy the financial requirements for a one-year extension of their Non-O Visa. One commenter confirms that a joint account is acceptable for immigration purposes, but notes that the required minimum balance of 800,000 THB applies to the total amount in the account, divided by the account holders.
