What is the correct bank balance requirement for a 1-year visa extension in Thailand on a Non-immigrant 'O' visa married to a Thai national?
Recently arrived in Thailand on a 90-day Non-immigrant "O" visa (married to Thai national, US passport ). My wife's employer here told me I need to have 400,000 baht in a Thai bank for at least 2 months in order to request visa extension of up to a year. I have seen others on this page refer to an 800,000 baht bank requirement. Is it 400k or 800k?
I am new at this.
Thanks.

Answer summary
If you are applying for a 1-year extension of a Non-immigrant 'O' visa based on marriage to a Thai national, you need to have 400,000 baht in a Thai bank account in your name for at least two months prior to the application date. The 800,000 baht requirement applies to extensions based on retirement, not marriage.

THESE are the common found requirements for the one year extension of stay as Married to Thai. Contact your local Thai Immigration office for their list of requirements.

You have to have 400K baht in a Thai bank account in your name only for at least two months as of application day for a 1-year extension based on a spouse to a Thai female.
Funds of 800k baht are for an extension based on retirement, not for marriage to a Thai.
