Can I clarify - I needed the Thai to sign so that I could open the account(s). I don't need their signature to conduct any banking. That is correct. It is really just identification. That is why an embassy letter can be used. that way they have no access to the account. If they were co-signitures they can access the account and claim it under some conditions.

You have a problem Mosha. For a marriage visa the bank account is not needed to show the money going in. If you decide to use the money in the bank method you must have the 480000 baht in a standard account in your name only for a period of 3 months before the visa renewal.It must not drop less than the 480000 baht by even one baht during that 3 months. If you are relying on income that is done by a letter from your Embassy. I do not know what nationality you are butI think from the UK. If so you ask the embassy for the letter (for which there is a charge) and tell them your income. You must provide the Embassy...not immigration with proof of some kind that you have that income in the year. The bankbooks will probably do for that though no money actually needs to be bought into Thailand at all. PM me if you need more details. Immigration Police order 327-2557 2:18 (6) says if over 12 months the total played in is over 480000 baht then I meet requirements for a non immigration type O based on marriage. I get a company pension but still a bit to go for the state one 61 end of March. Information I'm getting is Savannakhet are not asking about money. So I'm heading there. If that fails I'll try for a tourist visa and Sopha will sell some land plus rubber trees and season the 400000. Also just got of the phone with the Bank's HQ. They also said they can not take her name out.

If that fails I'll try for a tourist visa and Sopha will sell some land plus rubber trees and season the 400000 You are supposed to be on a Non Immigrant visa. If you are on that now you will not have to leave the country. If you are not you may not have to leave the country. Immigration can convert your visa to a Non O for 1900batht and then process an extension for a further 1900 baht www.pcecnews.com/permNL/Immigration%20Bureau%20order%20327-2557%20(2014)%20-%20extension%20criteria%20&%20conditions%20en.pdfnO IT DOES NOT SAY THAT. Income does not have to be paid into a thai bank. It also does not need to be government. Income is attested by showing them a letter from the Embassy which you can get. The process varies according to nationality. Britain needs to see some proof of income. The US and Australia accept your statutory declaration. If yu are using the income method the Immigration will not look at your bankbook. If you are using money in the bank it must have remained there untouched at the full rate in an individual account for 2 months up till the date of aplication and be there at that time the first time and three months for extensions thereafter.thereafter. I strongly suggest you reread this and check. It would seem to be in your interests to if you want to keep remaining in the country. The visa you get in savanaket is a non O which allows you to stay for 3 months. Its purpose is to give time to season the money if you need to and apply for the one year extension at Immigration in Thailand. You are here now so you can just go and apply for that extension in Thailand at Immigration. this is one are where there is good coverage in the Thai Visa forum. It is confusing butit seems you are getting the wrong information. Go to Immigration and tellthem you have an income of over 480000 baht and what you need to get your extension. You will find it is as I said. If you do not speak good Thai take your wife with you when you do. You will need to have her with you when you apply for the extension. It is often easiest to just let her do the talking.

Proof of money was not requested. I have had on average over 40000/month over the past 12 months OK you will have to leave quickly as you are on overstay and the clock is ticking with the fines. You will get a multi entry but it will make you leave the country every three months or get an extension. What you need to do is when you are legal again. Which you could have done last week without leaving the country get a letter from your embassy stating your income and then apply for the 12 month visa. Immigration do not want or take your bankbook as evidence of income.

You get your embassy letter by mail from the British Embassy....You have to provide some proof of your income....copies of your bankbook could be used for this. www.gov.uk/government/publications/how-to-obtain-a-pensionincome-letter-for-thai-immigrationCheck with immigration if you can change to a Marriage Visa without leaving the country. You will then need to get copies of your passport and sometimes these have to be stamped by foreign affairs....different offices have different needs. The Immigration letter is generally good for about 6 months.

Annoying thing is her income from the rubber is enough to push us over. Farang women don't have to put up with this crap if the husband is Thai. SMH

Heading back home today, they didn't need the embassy letter, or any financial information.
