Is there a way to apply for a marriage visa in Thailand without having 400,000 baht in a bank account?

@Ossama ******

, yeah, it's called loansharking

@Kool ******

are you sure you don’t need to show it coming in from outside Thailand ? Because they don’t want people to work here and put money in bank they need to see an outside source of income

@John *******

. Why do that,when you can use the Immigration,s one stop service,and provided you have all the necessary documents,the process should not take more than minutes, depending on how many people are waiting to be seen.

@Peter ********

, not any more. It now must be either bt400k in the bank for at least 2 months for the first extension, or bt40k minimum a month coming in from out of the country. There is no longer a combination of both, and there is no longer an averaging of income that totals bt400k for the year. It must be bt40k a month minimum. This all changed two years ago, and went into full effect last year. Going back to years past, you used to be able to include the value of a condo you owned in the financial requirement. That was nice then, as it encouraged expats to buy condos, but that ended years ago.

. Yes please where lol ?

@Tod ********

:/ The thai consulate in Savannakhet Lao (NOT Cambodia) ALWAYS issued a year-long, multi entry Non-O visa based on marriage without proof of funds for 5000baht.

No "kickback" needed ;)

BUT

with the entry points to thailand closed, AND you needing to do a 14 day quarantine in lao to get in, THEN apply for permission to get back into thailand going to ANY thai consulate outside the country to get a visa and thinking you're gonna get in anytime soon is just fanciful thinking..

if it's really passive income (i.e. just investment return without any work involved on your part) the value of your capital to achieve that level of income without meaningful risk nor volatility would be substantial, in which case you could easily afford an elite visa.

if it's not really passive income (i.e. requires some management or involvement on your part, you will need a work permit, and a non-immigrant business visa, which also comes with various other requirements).

60k ... what currency?

@Tomas *********

you are an incredibly sad creature. No wonder you are single. Maybe vicious is the better word, or nasty....

he looks like my grandfather on his deathbed 😂

@Tomas *********

the Thai girl will be very happy u bring her to Finland but I guarantee you she will run as soon as she has papers to stay!

Thai ladies don't like poor men. Or choose a dead ugly one.... 🙏

@Sylvain *****

how would an agency help? What would they do about the rules?

Mogens Nygaard the remaining 9 months has to be min 400k Upto the point of renewal at the end of year 1

Can that income be from rental property investments ?
