I'm a little confused about the Bank requirement for the marriage visa. I have had a thai bank account for 3 years and have maintained 400,000 thb in the account. Can I just show immigration that I have maintained 400,000 thb in the account with an updated bank statement or do I need a letter from the the bank?

I'm in Thailand on a non-immigrant o type Visa. We intend to apply for a marriage visa. My wife is thai we married in the U.S. We went to Kasikorn Bank to open an account. I had a printed copy of my evisa, my digital arrival card, my passport and our rental agreement. We also had with us a copy of our us marriage license that had been certified by the state the state department and the Thai Embassy in the United States.

Kasikorn Bank refuse to allow me to open up a bank account. I don't understand what's going on has anybody else had this experience with Kasikorn Bank?

Jordee Wood asked in comments to unrelated topics:

I now understand that the re-entry permit fee is only paid when applying for it, usually after the annual visa is stamped.

So my choice of single- or multiple-entry before was just a preference—I can decide later.

When my 90 days expire, I will go back and tell them that I’ve changed my mind and want a multiple-entry permit.

I have another question: how many days before the 90-day temporary visa expires should I go back to immigration to get my annual marriage visa and decide on the re-entry permit?

I mean, can it be one or two weeks before?

Please make your own post next time.

Final Non O Marriage Visa stamp after house visit

Hello everyone,

On Saturday the IO officer came to my wife’s house and his colleague took 3 photos around house with him and us together.

He messaged my wife yesterday and said for me to come to the IO with at least 5 days left on my marriage visa that expires on dec 23.

I assume for my final acceptance stamp in my passport for the 12 month extension.

My question is do I need to take anything other than my passport?

Maybe they want another copy of my Bank book update from today to see my bank balance isn’t below 400,000 baht?

Thanks in Advance 🙏

Hello,

after obtaining an extension of my marriage visa, can I withdraw the money from the account and then redeposit it 2 or 3 months before the renewal next year?

My marriage visa was stamped for Jan 22nd. We arrived October 24th. I would like to extend it an additional 60 days. What is the timeframe for doing so and do I need a bank account. Do I just show up at immigration with the documents I have? Thank you for your time

Have herd on a page yesterday that bank accounts need to be opened for 6 months before they will issue a financial letter for immigration for a extension. The person will now have to leave the country and obtain a new Non O visa.

Although it doesn't break immigration rules by having your money in for 2 months.

Does anyone know how true this is. I am going to hopefully have a married visa and hopefully the bank will look different on a marriage extension, then the retirement extension.

Thank

Hello all, I have a Non-O visa based on marriage with my 90-day stamp expiring on 22 December. I want to do the 1-year extension and tried to make a booking at CW online but there are no slots available in December. Is my only option to walk in? I did see slots available at Laksi, but from what I can see is that they will only do a short-term extension there? It's been a while since I've done the extension in country so any guidance is appreciated.

Hello, i wish to confirm if foreign bank statement can be used for a one year extension NON-O Marriage or only Thai bank account?

If not, and as i see bank statement are now required when applying for a Non-O 3 months, can the foreign bank account be used? In that case i plan to do it in Vientiane or HMC.

Thank you
