Is it necessary for the 400,000 baht required for a marriage extension visa in Thailand to be shown as coming from abroad?
Does the 400,000 baht in the bank for an extension due to marriage to a Thai National have to show its come from abroad?
Answer summary
The 400,000 baht required in the bank for an extension due to marriage to a Thai national does not have to be shown as coming from abroad. This applies to both the initial 90-day NON-O visa based on marriage and the yearly extension. There is some flexibility regarding bank accounts, as some immigration offices accept joint accounts, but it's advisable to verify with local immigration to ensure compliance.

, check with your local immigration office. Some accept joint accounts, and some don't prefer. Remember, you need to double the balance in a joint account under your name and another person.Tod *********
nope, there is no requirement to show the the 400K baht banked money method came from overseas for either the initial 90 day Non-O visa based on marriage OR the yearly extension based on marriage
