non o married bank balance just below 400k

hello all

i have a question

my non o visa married expired 29-04-2026

butt last 2 days ago i looked on my bbk bank

and see that my bank balance is 130baht under the 400.000baht

i have just transfer money again to fill it

what can i do now

because i have just 57days left

is it better to getting a 60day extension visa based on visit family spouse

and when the money sits in full 60day

apply again for a non o married visa ?

is this a correct way?

thanks all in advance🙏🏽
Answer summary
The user is concerned about their Non-O married visa renewal, as their bank balance is 130 baht below the 400,000 baht requirement and they have only 57 days left before expiration. They consider applying for a 60-day family visit extension to allow their bank balance to meet the requirement before reapplying for a Non-O visa. The community advises that applying for a 60-day extension may be prudent to avoid complications with immigration, and suggest maintaining good communication with the immigration office for guidance.

Put 100k EXTRA to your account now and apply 1 year extension. I think they won't refuse extension for 130THB. 😃

And if they do for some mysterious reasons, they probably will give you 60 days extension anyway.

This happened to me last year, they just extended my current visa another 30 days to meet the requirements of 400K. Went back and all good.

FAFO is all I say. Visit Immigration and see what they say. You still have the option to apply for the 60-days extension based on family visit. This would give you more money maturing time

I've had the same a few years back. No problem. Just remain friendly and explain. I got a fine, that's all, yearly extension was ok no problem.

If your wife has money in her account you can use both accounts. As long as you had 400k total in both accounts that should be fine.

If it was me I would go the the immigration office well in advance like now and ask them for advice. I know you are below the limit but they they used to take all Thai personal accounts together so if you have another account you are probably still OK. In addition, I'm on a retirement visa and I normally renew 1 month before and it's always dated from the expiry of the current stamp. I understand that if you renew a retirement within 40 days of the expiry date it's run from the expiry date, anything before that and it's run from the date of renewal, I don't know anything about a marriage visa though. If you go to immigration well in advance and present all the right documentation and they say it's OK then you might be able to renew it then and there, OK losing a month or so but you would leave with a new stamp. The only problem with this idea is that a marriage visa needs approval from higher up so might be OK at the local office but rejected anyway but again should give time to sort something out if you do it before the expiry date.

Malcolm Whitlock you cannot get an extension early (must be with 45 or 30 days remaining), where did you get that idea?

From people that did it, also when I was living in Pattaya and had to go up country and didn't think I would make it back in time I went to Immigration and they were more than happy to do it for me but it turned out I had just 38 days remaining so I was within the normal window.

Not all offices will grant an extension of 60 days to visit family, so go and ask.

Apply for the 60 day visit family extension if you can get it, it's normally only allowed once. Otherwise you will have to exit Thailand and start over. Immigration are pretty strict on the financials

It is ultimately at the discretion of the immigration officer, and a one year extension of stay may well be refused in the current circumstances. Applying first for a 60 day family extension and allowing the funds to complete the required seasoning period is likely the more prudent approach.

Sounds like your only option. Why put yourself through the stress, keep a buffer of a few thousand baht in there at least.
