## Question regarding Extension of stay based on Thai Family/Spouse

Entered December 2022 on non-imm Visa-O with multiple entries.

My bank balance dropped a smidge below 400K for several days in late January. I make sporadic lump sum payments to my thai bank account. For all of 2020 and 2021 my bank account balance exceeded 400k and 3 months ago my bank account exceeded 400k.

Is this going to affect my eligibility to get EXTENSION OF STAY? 

In addition to that,  I make more than 40k THB per month in income  but it's deposited into a foreign bank account.  If I were to start consistently paying an income to my Thai bank account - how long would I need to do it to become eligible? 

If I am not able to get it - is there another extension I can get?  The 400K will "re-season" by the end of April and my current visa entry expires at the end of March.

Answer summary

The user is concerned that a temporary drop below the required 400,000 THB balance in their Thai bank account might affect their eligibility for an Extension of Stay under a Non-Immigrant Visa-O. They also inquire about the impact of having a foreign income and whether consistent deposits into their Thai bank account could help meet eligibility requirements for visa extension. Community responses suggest that maintaining the balance for at least two months prior to applying is crucial and mention alternatives such as an extension based on having a half-Thai child.

Do you have any other Thai bank accounts with some money in?

If you have a half Thai child, another option is a one year extension of stay based on raising half Thai child. There is no seasoning requirements for the money.

If you used banked money for the Extension of Stay based on marriage with a Thai National it is:

a minimum of 400.000 Thb for 2 months prior application date on a Thai bank account on your name.

Or if you like the monthly income:

Affidavit from your embassy or if they do not give one:

monthly a minimum of 40.000 Thb as foreign deposit into a Thai bank account on your name for at least 12 months prior application.
