Recently arrived in Thailand on a 90-day Non-immigrant "O" visa (married to Thai national, US passport ). My wife's employer here told me I need to have 400,000 baht in a Thai bank for at least 2 months in order to request visa extension of up to a year. I have seen others on this page refer to an 800,000 baht bank requirement. Is it 400k or 800k?

I am new at this.

Thanks.

hey anyone applying from india for thailand destination visa ?

i want to ask whether do we have to maintain balance of 500,000 Baht for 6 months or final amount of 500,000 baht in our bank statement is enough ?

Hi I used the banked money method to get my retirement visa last year and kept the balance above 400k until I renewed my visa today. I switched to the embassy letter method and received my new visa that expires jun 19 2025. Question is when can I start drawing down my 400k balance? TIA 🙏

My retirement visa is up for renewal in August.. Unfortunately I passed the three months to top up on my account of 800000... What do you advise me to do..?

I’m about to apply for a multi entry visa from the uk

Does anybody no what flight documents I need to provide

Do I just need to provide my flight in and my flight out before the end of the 6 month visa

Or do I need to provide all flights in and out through your whole visa .

Hi guys, I just did the 1 year extension on the marriage visa. First I was thinking I have to keep the money in the bank all the time, but considering I got the 1 year stamp and need to do only drive through 90 days reports and some comments I've seen here lately, it seems like I can use these money now? Or I will have problems obtaining next extension in 1 year if I don't keep them untouched? 🙏

Hi guys just like to say I got my Extension of Stay stamped in my passport (marriage) and a re-entry permit today. Pattani Immigration Office.

And I asked a few questions that I have been confused about and this Thai Visa Advice may have been a little confused about.

So Questions asked from me to do with EofS (marriage)

1. About Handouts (what you need for application) and process explained for your EofS marriage and related questions.

I asked if the handout shows everything you need to hand in at your application date? He said yes and he went and got one and it was as it’s always been and standard from what I’ve always done and shown.

2. To do with Under Consideration Stamp.

Why and what is the reason for the Under Consideration stamp? He’s reply. On the date you pay and put your application in to immigration office needs time to examine and checked the paperwork is correct at the time of the application with the issues of the paperwork if necessary. This doesn’t happen overnight. This is to check and why you sign everything single piece of paper in your application. You are saying it’s not false and it is true on that date. If we find a mistake or something maybe more serious we will contact you to do with what we think is wrong with the application paperwork and discuss if it can be corrected. Or for a more serious reason of not issuing and rejecting the person EofS (marriage) application

Then I asked about the ฿400,000 seasoning time is ? he said it’s 2 months.

I then asked when coming back to get my EofS inked in what do I have to bring with me? He said what you brought with you today. This was myself and my passport.

Then I asked if the paperwork was all correct. Is there any reason why I should have keep the ฿400,000 seasoned money after the 2 months? He said NO. And pointed to the handout and process.

He asked why I had asked? I said because I hear people giving advice saying you should.

He’s replied with a smile and said you are obviously not get correct advice.

Being married means you could need the money immediately after the 2 months seasoning for a number of personal family reasons or emergency.

If for some reason they wanted to see your bank book again for any reason as long as you can prove it was season for the 2 months the day after that you can do what you like with it. This would have been looked at on the day of application. So as long as that was not false on that day. You are ok to do what you like.

Also pointed to a big poster on the wall photo below

Happy Days hope this advice helps

Hi all, I had a 1 year non immigrant retirement visa but unfortunately I missed the criteria for extension and took out the money before 3 months. I later found out and put back the money to make the balance back to 800k. Anyone had experiences ? Am i able to get the 1 year extension? If not, what should I do? Do i need to go back to the country where I am from and wait and fly to Thailand as a tourist and restart the whole thing again? Any advices? Thanks!!

I've got married, opened my Thai bank account and have been told by immigration to deposit 400,000 Thb prior to applying for my 90 day Non-O based on marriage. I can transfer the money online which won't show in my book as being sent from abroad. Not a problem for the 90 day Visa application I believe. As I intend to leave the 400,000 untouched, and therefore seasoned for 2 months when I apply for my first 1 year extension, will this be acceptable or do I need to show 400,000 sent from abroad? Thank you.
