What are the financial requirements for obtaining a marriage visa extension in Thailand?

Just leave the 400K in your account all year round, no worries or hassle then.

Jeezus H Christ you got some b/s answers (and probably some good ones, but I only skimmed the reponses)

FIRST we're going to go under the assumption that you aren't getting a new VISA at all and instead that what you want is another yearly extension of stay based on marriage

To get that using banked money method (no matter what any poser :O err poster on this group OR any wing-nut immigration officer tells you) you need to have 400K baht in a thai bank account in your name only for 2 months before you APPLY for your next extension (not from the date your current stamp expires)

NOW some offices also request you leave the 400K baht in the account for the 30 day under consideration stamp you get when you apply for the year marriage extension BUT not all offices do this and they'll tell you IF you have to do it or not.

I've a Kasikorn Asset Management Account. Very few expats know about it because they don't offer it. I had 1m THB in there as a rainy day account. You need to choose your funds. I have chosen 3. You must have a minimum in each account is 10,000 THB.

After 3 years took 1.4m out leaving 1m THB. Some of these funds can perform as high as 35% per year.

Yes. 2 months for the 1st yearly extention based on marriage and then subsequent extenions the 400k needs to be seasoned for 90 days.

There is a very easy way to solve this problem.

Open an account and put 400,,000b in it (depending on marriage or retirement) and FORGET about it!

Have a seperate account that is your daily account. Get used to living without it and you will never have to ask this question again.

The money is a Quasi Bond in case you get sick or other issue to cover things.

Not sure i got you, which 3 months, last 3 months from now?

That is not true at all. For a type O extension based on marriage, which I've had for the last five years, you need bt400k in your Thai bank account for at least two months before you apply, and then during your 30 days under consideration. That is all. You do not have to keep the money in your account for any other time. You are confusing the financial requirement for a retirement visa extension, that has that bt400k requirement for the full year. The marriage extension does not have that requirement.

Not for a new visa, for a yearly extension of stay yes. The money needs to stay in your account.

If you've broken the cycle you need to apply for a new Non-O.
