My Thai wife added me to her Bangkok Bank account a while ago. Over the years she’s made deposits inside Thailand as well as transferring money into the account from the USA. She’s got well in excess of several million baht.
Question: I’ve been told that when I apply for marriage visa that the money in the joint account must be 800,000 baht min (instead of 400,000 in my own account) cause it’s a joint account. BUT does it all have to be shown to have come from outside Thailand or does it matter since a it’s several million baht in the account? Thanks!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The individual inquires about the requirements of using a joint bank account with their Thai wife when applying for a marriage visa in Thailand. They mention being informed that the minimum balance required in a joint account is 800,000 baht instead of 400,000 baht if it were their personal account. Additionally, they seek clarification on whether all the funds must have originated from outside Thailand, given their joint account contains several million baht.
