As I'm moving to Thailand very soon i was just wondering when you go to re-new you marriage visa do you need to take copys of bank statements or just your bank book to prove you have the required funds in your account? Reason i ask is I'm thinking of have 2 accounts one for marriage visa so i can leave the 400kB and not have to many transactions on it and not worry about over spending from it and 1 for everyday spending. Just think this would make life easier when you go to re-new.

TLDR : Answer Summary
When renewing your marriage visa in Thailand, you must provide both your bank statements and your bank book, along with a letter from the bank to demonstrate that you meet the required financial threshold. Many individuals choose to maintain two separate bank accounts: one that holds the minimum required 400,000 baht for immigration purposes, and another for day-to-day expenses. To keep the immigration account active, it is often advised to make a small transaction, ensuring that the balance remains above the required amount.

You do not renew a visa, it is a residence permit that is renewed

I have 2 accounts for exactly this reason and as Stuart Cumming stated I also keep about a thousand extra in to ensure it never goes below the immigration threshold.

Many who are able to do so do exactly that. They have two separate accounts. One just for immigration. Put in just a bit more than 400k and withdraw something like 100 baht on the day you are going to apply so your bank book can be updated with that date.

Check with your office as each has their own specific requirements.

can confirm. Bring a good sample and maybe a virgin goat also just in case.
