Some African continent nationals face extra scrutiny and processing times at many embassies. You'll need to check thoroughly through the embassy website and see if that's true for Nigerians at the Thai Malaysian embassies. Do you know why they were rejected, and if it was 2 different embassies?

There is no seasoning of funds requirement although they may ask for a 3 month statement. Canadian embassies are pretty chill. You can contact the embassy and ask what they require.

Think of it this way, in the old days you would go to the Embassy and hand in your passport and wait for a sticker Visa. It would be impossible to travel outside that country when not in possession of your passport.

you can get almost 9 months out of that visa with a well timed final entry and in country extension

Non O is a marriage visa. Once you get to Thailand you'll then bank your 400K and apply for a 1 year extension of stay.

You submit your application, then once approved you submit your dependants application citing your visa number, along with a sponsorship letter stating you are the parent/spouse and guarantee financial responsibility along with your bank statement. I'd suggest a million baht if it's in one bank account or another 500K in your spouse's personal account.

Don't do it, sell everything and buy here.

If your business interacts with Thai businesses or citizens it won't fly for DTV.

If you're going to include a brief cover letter explaining your alternate income also highlight it in your bank statements, just saying it doesn't make it true, prove it.

Highly doubt it's an issue of concern. I haven't heard of this situation in the group, but I'm pretty sure oodles of people have dual citizenship. There is no disclaimer for the application.
