Hey guy, can anyone confirm the requirements for a marriage visa from Phuket's immigration office. Most of all I need to know 1) if money needs to be transfered from abroad, 2) how long before the application they needs to be in the bank account and 3) how many days before expiring of my current visa should I apply for a marriage one? Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary
To apply for a marriage visa at Phuket's immigration office, you need to confirm the financial requirements: 1) The funds do not necessarily have to be transferred from abroad; 2) The money must be in your Thai bank account for at least 60 days before your application; and 3) You should apply for the marriage visa at least 30 days before your current visa expires, with some offices allowing applications up to 45 days in advance.

The money can come from anywhere. It is different from a retirement extension.

I'm assuming you're referring to the yearly extension. 1) No 2) 60 days in a Thai bank account before your application date 3) 30 days before your visa or extension to date expires. Some immigrations offices allow to apply 45 days before last day. I'm not sure about Phuket's policy.

I'm looking actually for converting a tourist visa to a marriage visa, is it possible at all to do it without leaving the country?
