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

Only in my wildest dreams could this be true. I missed out last year. I earned 38,500 baht and bar that one month earned 40k+ every month some months 80k + incoming from abroad it was still a big fat - NO. It’s most defiantly impossible.

@Tod ********

does the 0 thb that needs to be in a thai bank for 2 months prior have to be deposited from abroad or can it be deposited locally ?

If your pension gets paid into a UK bank account you can do the transfer from there to your Thai account each month yourself but you need to be aware of interest rate changes so best to transfer a bit more. But you're still going to need 400k baht in your Thai account for the 90 day visa and first 12 month extension to give you time to build up the 12 months history for the 2nd extension.

I believe you're a bit confused about the proof of funds for a visa/extension based on marriage..

There is no combination method on marriage visa/extensions like there is on the retirement one (where you use part banked money and part monthly transfers)

You have two ways to hit the proof of funds for marriage visa/extensions.

1 - you bank 400k baht in a thai bank account in your name only for 2 months before you apply for a yearly extension

OR

2 - if you come from a country whose embassy here doesn't issue affidavit of income from abroad notary letters, you have to transfer a minimum of 40K baht a month, each month, every month for the previous 12 months into a thai bank account in your name only from abroad. .

Those are the only two ways to meet the financial requirements for marriage extension (other than legally working here on a salary of 40K baht a month 😉 )
