I am a bit of a novice myself at this but October I came out to live in Thailand after getting my non. O, visa due to being married to a Thai lady.

When the first week I went to her bank and successfully after showing passport my 90 day visa and my wife sort of documentation of marriage so-and-so on. I opened a bank account. They knew it was to get a one year visa, but the bank has to mature for 2 months before I can apply and some say it's right. Some say it's wrong, but they have actually frozen the four hundred thousand thai backs or the ten k that I transferred with yes to that bank.for 6 months but my situation was to always have the money I pull it in to forget about it, because some people open up two bank accounts at the moment.It is perfect because they freeze the four hundred thousand but you can put more money in and pay with the q.R like most thai people do hope that I was giving you some idea.The bank obviously says it was requirement for me to get the paperwork.I'm assuming that's the statements and the certificate to get the visa

i personally would have done, but my wife holds two bank accounts and her business accounts.So I thought she's friendly with the manager as one of her customers having how hard it is to get a bank account.It could be easier to open which I had no problem it until yesterday but as I said, I had planned to leave it in so on the ways have the money for the visa.Each year

@Colin *********

yes, Colin didn't speak great English. But what she did say was basic understanding of my extension to hold it, as I said, it's not a frozen account, it's just a frozen four hundred k. My plan was always to leave it in, as I told my wife when I die, she can use it to build me a nice big shrine on the farm lol

@John ****

i am not sure why they would suspect fraud. It was all done above board My wife gave evidence of being a guaranteed and on the government. Website, it shows as a new enforced tightening regulation maybe them that have got something to hide, would be the ones concerned. And condemning it

@Stuart **********

just said it was to help prevent fraud.New regulations that have been put in force

i came here on a 90 day visa. Standard O visa due to having the thai wife she took me to her branch i was a bit puzzled because they had her signing more forms than me saying she was being guaranteed so I've been in Thailand for 17 days and got the bank account. I had that a week when my wife got a call they said they did try to ring my number? But no missed call? so called her they know what the money was for.

What the purpose of having it for the intention in january two months matured to apply for the year visa. The 400k it's showing it as a ledger, but I only have the extra available?

I am still convinced u must of asked for the wrong visa or given the wrong type? As I applied for the e visa online.

Back in September, I came out on the 21st

And landed the twenty second I was stamped in for 3 months?

@Markie *****

well, that was from the government themselves.Telling me that they can't control the numbers.But by controlling people who do it legit, they can keep their figures down

I have just recently moved to live in thailand as for the last two years, I tried four times to get my thai wife to come visit the uk it wasn't until the same information going through my local m. P because they were just denying for fun and off record. I was told keeping the numbers down on foreign people in the country because they can't control the boat people coming in it was only then when she got involved. And contacted the Home Office with the same information. Did I get a visa?

So even if you have the right amount, financial, good reasons like my wife to businesses a farm. And a young brother, she looked after she was being denied until the mp got involved.

And as they put the price up To now thirty eight thousand a year, earnings for her to be and stay.It's a lot better and cheaper to come.And live in thailand which is what I did on the 22nd of October. I wish you luck
