ORIGINAL POSTER

From : [members only] -  are the references to 'both' (applicant & spouse) having either the minimum 40,000 income, or having the 400,000 balance correct now ?  And is the reference to a '3 month' seasoning of the financial levels correct/ in current use ?  Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The inquiry revolves around the financial prerequisites for a marriage extension visa in Thailand. Specifically, it questions whether both the applicant and spouse must meet the income of 40,000 THB or have a balance of 400,000 THB, as well as if there is a '3 month' seasoning period for these financial levels. Commenters clarify that immigration regulations can vary by office, with an emphasis on the requirement that funds typically need to be in the applicant's name, and that joint accounts may or may not be accepted depending on individual immigration office policies.

The MFA has nothing to do with extensions. That's immigration which is a completely different government agency.

The money must be in the name of the person applying for the extension. Some immigration offices might accept a joint account but then the account needs double the money. Other immigration offices won't accept joint accounts at all. Each immigration sets their own policies. The only way to know for certain what your immigration office needs is to go there and ask them for their handout to apply for a 1-year extension based on marriage to a Thai.

Do I need to meet both financial requirements for a marriage visa in Thailand or is it an either/or situation?
