What is the financial requirement for a Non-O marriage visa in Thailand, 400,000 baht in a bank account or 40,000 baht proof of income?

@Ivan ********

yeah yeah very funny indeed - NOT

@Ivan ********

up to you if you spend your money on your wife's family. But that would be kind of stupid wouldn't it? My wife's family don't expect money from me and don't ask for anything. Many are like that so you are wrong in presuming what you do.

@Jacques *******

You probably had something wrong. Might not have the 40K certified by your embassy in Bangkok. Many countries not provide income certificates anymore and then its 400k on the bank only.

@Willem ***

have you or someone done it this way and how long ago. Not once did the immiration officer asked me for proof of income and believe me we tried. He said the only way forward is to open a bank account. And that was also not easy the bank didn't want to know how much money I had, they wanted authenticated marriage certificate, and had to submit that by local Amphoe aswell and get a document from them as well to show to the bank. Only then did they give me a bank account. So from my perspective it has nothing to do with proof of income.

@Jacques *******

Did you have a verified income statement from your embassy in Bangkok? Which immigration is not accepting this statement. Yes i know a few friends use this way yearly . Their embassy provides a verified income statement. And the immigration is Bangkok and Chiang Mai

@Willem ***

- so wrong

@John ******

Yes it not applies to you. The UK governement doesnt provide income statements anymore. You have to bank it.

@Chang *****

they did until 2018.

@Graham *****

Affidavit letter should be ok, but not monthly transfers for an unknown reason🤨. Or else 400K or 40k salary in TH.

@Jan *****************

does this mean that a letter will be enough? It can be used instead of money transfer it seems?

@Kim ********

Yes affidavit letter is sufficient
