What are the challenges with marriage visa renewal in Thailand and visiting the SEZ in Laos?
Two topics.
1) this is a follow up from my marriage visa renewal where I went from seasoned account balance to income based verification. The bank REFUSED to give me the report (it's been a month, I forget the name) saying the source of the funds was overseas. The branch in my town admitted (which was a surprise) they had no idea and had never done it and the branch where I opened the account told the local guy to fuck off. I brought some other report that just showed the deposits and it was accepted. So good news, but also irritating.
2) has anyone here ever visited the SEZ in Laos across from Sop Ruak? It doesn't seem like the casinos have websites, or maybe it's just the virtue signalling layer of Google hiding them.

Does your Immigration Office accept the monthly international transfers for an Extension of Stay based on marriage as many don't which could explain your bank's response?
