Hi. Just want to clarify something.

Filling out my paperwork for extension for non o visa marriage.

Was just checking over everything.

Has the amount of time the 400 has to be in the bank changed. I thought on renewal it was 2 months.

But AI is now saying 3 months.

I know AI is wrong on many things but thought I would check in here. TIA
Answer summary
The current requirement for the NON-O visa extension based on marriage is to keep 400,000 baht in the bank for at least 3 months. While the initial amount needs to be held for 2 months prior to application, there is an additional 21-day consideration period during which the funds should also be accessible, leading to the overall requirement of approximately 3 months.

Its 3 months. First you have to keep for 2 months then they give you 21 days consideration period. So you have to keep approximately another month

Kundan Yadav we called and they said 2 month.

Once under consideration I have never kept it there. Maybe a risk if fail.

The seasoning requirement for the 400K baht banked money proof of funds on a marriage to a thai extension is 2 months before you apply for the extension.

You want bad information about entry/visa/extensions to thailand ask ANY of the AI programs out there.. Bad info has been parroted so often by people that AI data mines it as accurate

It's TWO months for sure :)

here's the link to 'stay with thai family' extensions from Bangkok Immigrations

@Scott ********
the detail transaction report and bank letter validity vary by Immigration office.

Bangkok immigrations allows the transaction report and bank letter to be up to 7 days old.

Some offices want those issued the day you apply for the extension.

All require you update your Thai bank book the day you apply for the extension.

Check with your immigration office to see what their policy is on the transaction report and bank letter.

@Tod ********
yep. Thanks. She will call tomorrow.

Would be so much easier if 24hr like before. Same day is a pain.

Thanks for your help. Again

@Tod ********
thanks. I thought it was. Then I was checking and see that.

Also I see someone post the bank letter and statement can be a day old.

That would be nice and very helpful but totally untrue

dunno why that happened, in Bangkok the bank letter and the detail transaction report can be up to 7 days old, but you have to update your bank passbook the day you apply

Ritchie White the good old days when it was 7 days.

On the day is ok. But much easier with a 24hr window. Then I can get to immigration before open.
