you need to go to your immigration office and ask them for their handout of requirements for the 1-year extension based on marriage. That will tell you exactly what you need from the bank.

Be more clear about what you are asking about.

Are you asking about the 90-day non-O VISA, or are you asking about an EXTENSION?

If you are asking about the visa, are you asking about it from a Thai embassy outside of Thailand, or are you asking about it from an immigration office inside of Thailand?

The answers for all of these is different.

If you are actually asking about the immigration office, your VERY FIRST step is going to the immigration office and asking for their handout of requirements to either apply for a non-O visa based on marriage, or their handout for a 1-year extension based on marriage. This list will tell you exactly what you need for YOUR immigration office, since each immigration office has their own requirements.

There are some immigration offices that don't even allow you to convert to a non-O visa, so the immigration office is your first stop.

She'll receive 60 days visa exempt and is eligible for one 30-day extension.

Did you have a residence certificate from immigration?

Kasikorn Bank didn't turn you down. That specific branch of Kasikorn Bank turned you down. Each bank branch manager sets the requirements for their branch. If one branch won't help you, try a different one.

No, most offices will not accept any funds at all unless it's your salary from a Thai job. But in my reply I clearly state that if they accept transfers, it must be shown as an international transfer.

Most DLT will not accept a yellow book. Residence certificate from immigration is mandatory.

A visa does not guarantee your entry into Thailand. It just determines how many days you will receive when you are allowed in. You can theoretically get 9 months, but there are stories of people getting interrogated after leaving and returning the first time as they are not following the pattern of a tourist while using a tourist visa.

The very first thing you need to do is go to your immigration office and ask them if they will accept monthly transfers.

Many immigration officers will not accept this for marriage extensions. The only income they will accept for marriage extensions is proof of your wage from a work permitted job in Thailand being over 40,000 baht per month.

If your immigration does accept proof of monthly transfers, then when you apply for your extension you must be able to show that you received at least 40,000 baht as an international transfer into your bank account (in your name only) every single month for the previous 12 months. If you miss a month by even a day, you will not receive your extension.
