Ok so im hoping someone can clarify this because any youtube video, or visa lawyer site is pretty much mum on this topic.   The requirements for income state that for a marriage visa you need to verify that you have 40,000 baht per month income OR 400,000 in a thai bank account.  Since most embassies are no longer verifying income (including the US) what is the deal?  For instance, I am retired and have a federal pension that is MORE than the 40,000 per month requirement. But, I do not have the ten grand to put into a thai bank account..  so is there another way to verify my income?  has anyone else gone through this?

The requirement is to show 400,000 Baht in a Thai bank evidenced by bank passbook and a bank letter. The funds have to be in the bank for 2 months prior to your extension application.

 

Alternatively, you can show monthly income of 40,000 Baht into a Thai bank account for 12 months. This is evidenced by bank letter and bank statements showing the 40k going in each month.

 

Be aware that there may subtle differences in requirements from different Immigration offices.

Welcome to the forum @Weave73.

There is no such thing as a Marriage Visa.

Are you applying for the Non Imm O Visa based on Thai spouse from a Thai Embassy, OR, asking about a 1-year extension of permission of stay based on Thai spouse from a local Thai Immigration office ?

We got married in March. Kaset Sombun office only reqiured that I complete a declaration including income without evidence of that income.

Of course, rules are sometimes applied in an ad-hoc manner and can differ from office to office.
