I would love to hear more -- via Private Message or public comment -- from the person who pointed out that for marriage visa it "might" be possible to show THB 400,000 in the bank OR THB 40,000 a month income, while also warning that it may be "a bit of a trick" to document the latter properly for the Thai authorities. A non-Thai friend of mine would like to know more about the latter. He says he already has THB 38,000 in guaranteed monthly income, and can easily supplement that to be THB40,000/month plus, if that is the correct figure. However, he wonders what kinds of documentation may be needed to satisfy the immigration officers. The person also wonders if the matter can be processed at the provincial immigration office or if it is necessary to go outside the country? And finally, which should normally come first -- the marriage or the marriage visa (my own experience was bringing a Thai spouse to the USA, and the USA had things set up in a way that made both paths possible...). Looking forward to responses (and please keep all the jokes "clean" and amusing!) :-)
