TLDR : Answer Summary

After being issued a 1-year marriage visa, you can indeed use the 400,000 baht for the financial requirements, as confirmed by several community members who noted that there are no issues with accessing those funds once the marriage extension has been granted. It's advised to ensure the funds are in place at least 2 months before any renewal of the extension.

how often do you need to be able to show the 400k, or is it just once and then done?

@Dan ******

for a yearly extension based on marriage to a thai using banked money method you show 400K baht in a thai bank account in your name only for 2 months before you apply for the yearly extension. <- and you do that every year for a new extension each year.

Once the yearly extension issued you are free to use the funds as you see fit as long as it's back in the account 2 months before you apply for the extension the next year

Thank You for the explanation, I am currently here on a 90 day “marriage visa” and thought that you had to keep a minimum of 400k in your account. Thanks again

@Dan ******

if you are going to apply for the year extension of stay on that visa when it runs down you will need to bank the 400K for 2 months before you apply,

BUT

once you get the year extension issued you're good to use the funds as you want
