I have to renew my Visa based on my marriage with a thai wife very soon.
6 on this month I will still have 30 days before the VISA expire so I planned to go that date, but the 400k on the bank account is not exactly blocked for 2 months at this date but it will on 10 this month... So should I go 10 march to renew my VISA to have exactly 2 months at 400k on my bank statements or 6 march is ok ? Thank you

TLDR : Answer Summary
The poster is seeking advice on when to renew their visa based on the requirement of having 400,000 baht in a Thai bank account for at least two months. They originally planned to apply on March 6, but the amount will only meet the two-month requirement on March 10. Comments clarify that there's no need for 30 days remaining to apply; instead, they can apply anytime from 45 days to the expiration date. As long as they have the required bank balance by their application date, they can apply after March 10.
The O/P is on a yearly extension of stay based on marriage to a thai that expires on April 6th 2025.
That means in Bangkok they could apply any time they have 45 days or less left on their current stamp; so from Feb 20th right on down to the date their stamp runs out (april 6th)
They said their 400k baht will be seasoned in the bank account on March 10th so they have no issue going any day after that and applying for their next yearly extension
Good luck to the O/P, you're fine,

Okay I messaged you about this because I didn't really understand your timing

Okay there is NO rule that you need 30 days left on your current "extension of stay" based on marriage to a thai to get a new yearly extension ๐
You can apply for a new extension when you have 30 days OR LESS left on the current stamp <- that means any time from the 30th day before your stamp runs out right on down to the very day the stamp runs out
There is no wiggle room in the seasoning, you need 400k baht in a thai bank account in your name only 2 months before you APPLY for the extension.
SO when ever that is you can go apply on or after that date

You're hooped, 2 calendar months is the law. Your extension is till the 6th, for sure? You might be able to get a 60 day extension for visiting Thai family and then reapply from scratch.
