TLDR : Answer Summary

The funds for a Thai family visa must be in the applicant's personal account. Funds cannot simply be in the wife's account. If using a joint account, some immigration offices may accept it, but you must have double the required amount in the account, as only 50% will be considered yours.

You're correct... joint account needs double money... period. Also, as Brandon mentioned already, not all offices like/accept joint accounts. Don't listen to your other "experts"... they probably talk about experience when using some kind of (more or less shady) agent...

No. It absolutely cannot be in your wife's account. And as far as joint account, you have to check with your immigration office. Some would accept it, while others will not. If your office does accept it, you must have double the required amount in there, since only 50% of it is considered yours.

Do I need to have a separate bank account for my spouse with 500k in it for Thai immigration purposes?
