What happens if my marriage visa extension funds dip below 400k during the first 90 days?

Marriage Visa Visa Extension Thailand Visa Rules Financial Requirements Bank Account Balance Immigration Procedures Expat Advice

Good morning, 

Question regarding marriage visa extension: 

With the 400k requirement for the extension, what happens if, within the first 90-day stamp (pre-extension period), the 400k held in your account dips slightly below, without realising! 

Eg: 400k held in an acc, but a bank fee withdrew without knowing for a few days, and pushed it to 399k until I could top it back up over the 400k – Does this mean that requirement would be invalid for the marriage visa extension, as we are supposed to hold the full 400k total in the account for "full 3 months" before the extension application?

Many thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user inquired about the implications of their bank account balance dipping below 400,000 THB during the first 90 days before applying for a marriage visa extension in Thailand. It's clarified that as long as the account holds at least 400,000 THB for the required duration (the past two months before the extension application), they can still apply for the extension, even if the balance temporarily drops during that period. However, it's essential to check with the local immigration office for specific requirements.

If you cannot get a 12 month extension because you've dipped below the 400k then apply for a 60 day Visit Thai Family extension to season your funds again then continue

The basic financial requirements by banked money method for a 1-year extension based on marriage to a Thai woman is:

"must have no less than Baht 400,000 in bank account in Thailand for the past two months to cover expenses for one year."

As long as you meet this, you can apply for your extension (you can drop your bank balance in the first month of your 90-day stamp).

You need to check with your local immigration office for detailed their requirements, though.

If you cannot meet the 2 months, you can apply for a 60-day family visit extension to fulfill the seasoning period.
