I recently got married in Thailand, I then applied for the "Marriage" Visa and after a short time the Immigration summoned me with my wife and a neighbor who testified various things, etc .., etc .. everything OK. Now I have to go in early June, at the expiry of the Visa I have now (Non O) to have the Marriage Visa put on my passport. For my peace of mind I ask this question: "In early June, Immigration will again want me to prove that I have kept the minimum of 400,000 Baht on my account up to then?".
Answer summary
The user inquired whether Immigration will require proof of maintaining 400,000 Baht in their account when applying for a Marriage Visa in June. Responses indicated that while some immigration offices may ask for this proof during the application process, others might not. It was noted that as long as the user had maintained the required funds for 60 days before their application, there might not be a need to present further evidence. Clarifications were made regarding the status of the user's Non O visa and the transition to a Marriage Visa, as well as experiences shared by others in similar situations.

After the under consideration is over, you can remove the 400k if you want.

Immigration called me during the under consideration stamp and requested an up to date bank book, so yes, it may happen.

up to now Immigration did not call me and I will need to go for the marriage visa within 2 weeks. If they should call me asking to show them again that I still have 400k it should be possible but they cannot do this. They should have told me when they started my consideration or they should have written in their website. There is no logic, at least western logic. I will inform the Group after day 3 june, if they will ask me again or not.

Done this many times and have never been asked for an updated bank book or bank letter when I went to get the extension stamped in my passport.

Your wording doesn't make sence if you already applied for a marriage visa you would not have another non O expiring in June, it would be cancelled already. Are you sure you didn't get a 30 day under consideration stamp when you applied for the marriage visa? If so the remaining 11 months will be inked in upon your return to immigration at the end of the 30 days provided immigration were happy with your documents and visit. There is no legal requirement to keep the 400k in after application, it only has to be in there for 60 days prior to application

yes you do have "under consideration" so your paperwork has been checked by an officer and accepted pending verification. The 90 day report is completely separate and unconnected to your visa

@Stuart *********
I explain you better. I entered in Thailand beginning of last february with a Non-O visa ( 90 days ) . About 80 days later I married. After marriage I asked for a year Marriage Visa and Immigration accepted all necessary documents and gave me a visa ( you are right, it is not an extension of Non- Visa, )up to day 2 June because my 90 days where near to expire and I had to wait for Immigration to come in my house, to check and it could take some time. But after about 10 days Immigration telephoned me and asked to go in their offices and with a witness. We went and everything was OK . I was told to go back on 2 june to get my Marriage Visa and to go before 10 july for the 90 days report . In my opinion the 400k , like you said, need to be there only 60 days before application.

when you applied for the marriage visa did they stamp your passport with the words "under consideration" and then give you a specific date to return to immigration? If so you have already applied for the marriage visa and your application accepted pending checks ie house visit etc. If so they have already verified that you had 400k in your account for 60 days prior to application. Unlike the retirement visa there is no requirement for funds to remain in the account for any period of time following application

If I understand correctly you are currently on a 90 day Non-O visa and will shortly be going to get an annual extension. You will need to have 400k in your account to get the extension and it must have been there for 2 months prior to applying

I already did everything. I am here on an extension of a 90 days Non-O Visa. I am not asking an extension of my Marriage Visa.

It's possible that they ask but I think Jomtien is the only office that asks you when go back for your under consideration. The other offices will check your transactions when you go to get your next extension next year.
