What are the current requirements for applying for a 1-year marriage extension in Thailand regarding bank balance?

@Luciano **********

IF you are going to go for the monthly income method to meet the financial requirements to get a yearly extension based on marriage you need to transfer IN to the country in a thai bank account in your name only a minimum of 40K baht a month, each month, every month for the previous 12 months before you apply for your year extension

As far as a term deposit account for banked money method it is allowed as long as you have access to the money <- meaning it cannot be in an account where the deposit is 'frozen' for the term of the deposit.

There really is no requirement to keep the money in the bank past the 2 months before you apply and the 1 month that the application goes under consideration after you apply. You can do what ever you want with it

@Steve ******

, sorry you are right. Based on marriage the 400.000 need to be in the bank at least 3 months prior to the visa application, or a proved income from 40.000 a month.

Sorry the comment regarding the law changed was referring to needing it 3 months *before* as used to be required.
