ORIGINAL POSTER

For Extension based on Thai Wife with the banked money. 

Does it have to be minimum THB40k every single month or could you do 60k one month and 20k the next month?

Also I've seen conflicting information some people say doesn't matter where the money comes from and others have said must be transferred from foreign account. Anyone have experience using funds from within Thailand?

TLDR : Answer Summary

To extend your visa based on marriage to a Thai citizen, it is necessary to demonstrate a minimum income of 40,000 THB per month, but you may average this total over consecutive months (e.g., 60,000 in one month and 20,000 in another). Additionally, there is flexibility regarding the source of the funds; it does not have to be transferred from a foreign account, as funds from a Thai bank account are acceptable.

If you're working on a "married" visa, you can also show income from your employment of minimum 40k baht per month

If you go for the 400k option like me, don't let it drop below that Iike has happened to me, I had mine in my account for 7 weeks then had a mix up and my balance dropped below 400k by about 80thb and so I have to start the two months process again. Once you are married everything is more or less straight forward get the visa sorted out

It must be AT LEAST a total of 40K THB every month.

>others have said must be transferred from foreign accoun

For an one year extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai national, it does not matter where the funds are from.
