Thai Non-O Visa Marriage Visa Visa Requirements Financial Requirements Thailand Visa Rules

ORIGINAL POSTER

I'm slightly confused.  I understand the 400,000 bht requirement in a Thai bank to get the marriage visa.  I also understand that I will need to get the 90 day non-o visa from my local Thai consulate.  However, I saw a requirement that I need to show a financial amount of 20,000 bht to apply for that 90 day visa.

That seems like a very small amount; only about $600.  Is that correct?

I assume that it can be in a US bank, but is there a certain amount of time that the deposit must be shown?

Can it be in a joint checking account with my wife, or does it need to be in a separate account in my name only?

If I can't use a joint account, can I show an IRA account that is in my sole name?

I realize that these are probably very dumb questions, but I want to make sure that I have everything properly arranged before I start.  Thanks

1. 20K is a bit low, are you sure? I've checked recently, and it was 1000 EUR in Paris and 800 USD in Ankara for single-entry non-imm visas.

2. Yes, in any bank is fine. Seasoning was not required in our case, but you'd better check with your embassy/consulate of choice.

3. Should also be fine, but best to check.

4. No idea.

5. OK ;)

Does this visa have to be applied for from out of country? And if so does it have to be applied for online?

20,000 baht is the amount of cash a tourist can be required to show to enter Thailand. It's not relevant to a marriage visa at all.

To get the marriage visa from your embassy, you need to check what their requirements are. It will be a local equivalent to 400,000 baht in your local currency. Generally the only requirement is that you can show a bank statement (in your name only) with the amount of money. Some embassies MIGHT accept a joint bank account, but you would need to show double the required amount since only 50% of the money is yours. An IRA account would not qualify.

Do I need 400,000 or 800,000 baht in a bank for a Thai O retirement visa if I'm married?
