Letter of support would come from someone other than the facility being used.

Having the 500k necessary.
Can same-sex couples with a Thai Marriage Certificate apply for a Non-O E-Visa based on marriage to a Thai national?
Chris
*******
It will be possible to do incountry at Thai immigration.
This is reported from Phuket.
All of the documentation requirement remains the same.
It is reported that the foreign spouse will have to prove the financials regardless of male or female.
I have not heard or seen that it is has been tested yet.
Do I need a Thai bank account if I choose the 65,000B monthly income option for my Non-O visa extension instead of the 800,000B option?

it doesn't matter whether you believe it's contradictory.
It is what it is.
A lonstay visa is not a 90 day non-o you extend in Thailand.
An embassy is not Immigration.
Do I need a Thai bank account if I choose the 65,000B monthly income option for my Non-O visa extension instead of the 800,000B option?

Listen , whether you agree or not doesn't matter.
What you think you know doesn't matter.
You have been given the answers to your questions, by the top contributors.
There are many of us who have experience and are actually on these visas and some may have actual ties to Immigration.
The process is what it is, if you follow it works.

Stop confusing the process.
You do not need a Thai Bank to apply for an e-visa. 90 day non-o.
You do need a thai bank account to extend 1 year in Thailand.
IF you apply for an OA 1yr longstay visa and don't extend in Thailand you don't need a Thai bank account at all.
Embassies and Thai immigration are 2 different things.
Do I need to have 800,000 Baht in the bank for two months before extending my NON-O retirement visa?
Chris
*******
800k 2 mths prior to extension application
800k 3 mths after approval
400k always never below
If you don't meet these criteria you will start over with a trip out.
How can I book an appointment to pay for my Visa at the Thai Embassy in Vientiane?
Chris
*******
None of those are official.
This is the evisa site to apply and pay.
****************************
How does the DTV visa work in Thailand if the course duration is only 6 months?
Chris
*******
Yes, as long as you do border bounces you will not have to prove anything
(As of now anyway).
If you were to try and extend in country the rules are different and proofs will be asked for.
So just leave and come back, no issues for 5 years.
It is a stimulus visa aimed at people coming and going.
What is the best method for staying in Thailand an extra 30 days after my Spouse visa expires?
Chris
*******
You may qualify for a 60 day visit Thai family extension.
