What are the rules regarding the use of banked 400,000 baht for visa extensions in Thailand?

Sorry, to get the visa,1 year I have a Thai wife. How much money do I need to have in my account? Thanks.

Wish it was the same for extension based on retirement you think based on marriage it would be more but based on retirement its double !

Sorry Tod. Am I missing something .

Shouldn’t that read most offices dont request keeping the ฿400k in your account. And like you reiterated at the end it’s not a rule. So you’d say to the IO could you point that out to me in the rules. And thank him for clearing this up and be on your way. They might ask to see your bank book again. Which you would show them and it would show your activity of your account over the under consideration stamp period. Most offices don’t request that. It’s very different to a retirement financial requirements most importantly the one of being married only 2 months seasoning nothing else. Your wife might only want to give her money for two months.!

MOST offices request you keep the 400K baht in the account during the "under consideration" period from the stamp you get when you apply for the extension. but it is not an official rule.

The rules for the seasoning of funds for an extension based on marriage using banked money method are 400K baht in a thai bank account in your name only for 2 months before you apply for the yearly extension

MOST offices don't (thanx

@Martin *******

) request you keep the 400K baht in the account during the "under consideration" period from the stamp you get when you apply for the extension. Some do, but it is not an official rule

Once the year extension is inked into your passport there's no obligation to keep the funds in the account any longer.

Where are you in the process of your visa/extension etc???
