Hi everyone. I am planning on moving to Thailand shortly, marrying my girlfriend then living here on a marriage visa. Two questions.

Which visa should I enter Thailand on?

Would I have any problem entering on a one way plane ticket?

Thanks

Hello,

I went to Phuket Town Immigration to ask about applying for a Marriage Visa for the first time.

I’m leaving Thailand soon to go back to work and won’t return till October when I will apply for a marriage visa & I wanted to make sure I understood everything correctly.

I was hoping I could get something cleared up please about the length of time funds needed to be in your bank account.

Is it correct that when you apply for your marriage visa the first time you need 400,000baht in the bank only 1 day before you apply?

And then when you apply for your 1 year extension for 3 months later you need to keep 400,000 baht all that time up to the extension date?

(Which makes sense to me)

The part that I’m not sure about is that I was told by the kind officer that after you get the extension you need to keep the 400,000baht in you bank account for 2 months after the start date of your 1 year extension.

I thought and I could well be wrong with a marriage visa that as soon as you got the 1 year extension that you could take the 400,000baht out of your bank account if you wanted too.

I thought it was just for retirement type visas extensions that you had too leave the funds for 2 months after you get the extension.

I likely will leave the funds in my bank account all year long anyway but I just wanted to understand better in case I needed to access the funds in an emergency when I would be able too, and when I could do so without jeopardising my Marriage visa extension.

Thanks in Advance 🙏

I am interested in applying for a retirement visa. Do I need to do that once I arrive in Thailand?

A friend said I have to open a bank account in Thailand. A few years ago, the requirement was $25,000 US for 6 months.

Can anyone advise ?

I am a US citizen looking into Visa.

For the Visa's that require a certain amount of Baht or Dollars in a bank account, am I able to use the amount in my 401K as long as it is still there when it comes time to apply?

Thank you.

My family will be moving there and applying for a remote worker visa from my wifes job. Do we need 800k baht total in the bank? Or is that per person? I will not be working and just be on the spouse visa as i will just be collecting passive income from renting out my property.
