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

2 months of 400k thb in account prior to applying. Well Samut Prakan immigration requires 3 months

Making this stuff up as they go along

The affidavit is for people with pension.

My experience was in Petchabun Province. On the wall of the immigration office is a road map of all the documents needed to complete the process. Agree with prior comments that paying attention to the details is important (e.g. collared shirt for the picture, sufficient details to show place of residence, etc.). Patience, asking questions and knowing it may take a few submissions to get it right may be the right mind set.

You also need pictures of the two of you in front of your house and a few inside the house. No need to use agency, you can perfectly well do it yourself. I got the one year extension last month. Each immigration office is slightly different. In Udon they did not bother about aging of the money and all they needed was a letter from the bank that there was 400 000 bht on my account on the day I requested the extension.

1. That's an agency website, NOT the official government website.

2. You need EITHER:

400K THB in a Thai bank account, seasoned for two months OR:

40K THB in monthly income OR [from certain countries];

A letter from your embassy saying you make 40K THB a month

IF your embassy offers the letter, you CAN NOT use the monthly income method.

Hi everyone. A related question. Does the 400,000 have to be transferred into my Thai account from outside of Thailand? Or can it come from another account within Thai

The is a list of the Documents I needed visa based on Marriage

Please note: For First extension you may need witnesses, ask your Immigration.

Money in the Bank, but you could use a savings account as well as long as the money (400K) is in the account at least 2 months.

If you work in Thailand and are getting 40,000 baht a month, this will suffice meeting the financial criteria. If you're from US, UK or Australia the embassy won't give you an affidavit, you actually have to transfer 40k per month into your Thai bank account. The third option is 400,000k in the bank at least two months before application. An agent will rip you off doing something which you can do yourself.

You need get the affidavit stamp from your embassy in order to use the 40k per month. If your embassy able to provide you one.

Be aware that the screenshot is from a commercial website, not from Thai Immigration.

And for using an agency, well, they're not interested in you using an affadvit from your embassy.

There are basically two steps in this: 1) You MUST prove you have the required money/income, 2) You MUST comply down to the tiniest detail with the list of required documents...

Yes, its part of their requirements if your applying Marriage VISA here.

Yes thats normal you need 0 baht in Bank account for two months before application. Not sure of other options only ever done the bank account thing.

Easy enough to do dont waste money on an agent.
