ORIGINAL POSTERHallo.
The rules for banked money when you apply for retirement extension is 800k in the bank at least 2 months before applying and have to stay there for 3 months after applying. How is that when you are applying for extension based on marriage? I know i need 400k in a bank account in my name and it has to have been there for 2 months, and have that, but does it have to stay there for 3 months after applying?
Why I ask is because I plan to make an own account where the 400k will stay just for visa when I have to apply in the future and will make that when/if I get the 1 year extension.

TLDR : Answer Summary
In Thailand, when applying for a marriage visa extension, you need to maintain at least 400,000 THB in a bank account in your name for at least 2 months prior to the application. However, unlike the retirement extension that requires the funds to remain for 3 months post-application, there is no specific requirement stated for maintaining the 400,000 THB after applying for the marriage extension, according to current rules.
