My first question would be, before you start to embark on casting away 1000s, how long you known your thai gf and where or how did you meet .... 🤔

What you have in a U.K. Bank has no bearing on a Thai marriage visa application, you can travel to Thailand on a O visa based on marriage obtained from Thai embassy in London, which will last for 3 months, after 2 months in Thailand you can apply for a marriage visa , it is then that you need to show proof of funds .

thanks fella but as I said, we are now detouring from my original question...

& to back you up

How much cash are you allowed to take out of the UK?

New rules on declaring cash when entering or leaving the UK. HMRC has announced that from 15 June 2007, if you are travelling to or from a country outside the European Union (EU), you will need to declare any sums of cash of 10,000 Euro or more (or the equivalent in another currency) to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).

@Mi**

think I wife has been trained for that 🤔

@Ma**

in my case, being a marriage visa only requires 400,000b so at today's rate is only £9,113, I will possible be using Transferwise, but as I will probably return to UK twice a year, cash is an option.... ps maximum cash allowed legally is $20,000 / £15,151

So following on from that, does it have to show the funds were transferred from a bank outside Thailand or could I return to U.K. And bring cash, exchange it at Superich & deposit it to my thai account for 'seasoning'.

Now that answer I like 😜 , if it's 100% correct I'd be happy 🙏🏼

Yes I know, but unfortunately that's not the answer to my question
