See: Number 18 here on the immigration website. https://www.immigration.go.th/en/?page_id=1890
18 / 6 In the case of marriage to a Thai woman, the alien husband must earn an average annual income
of no less than Baht 40,000 per month or must have no less than Baht 400,000 in a bank account in
Thailand for the past two months to cover expenses for one year.Just to clarify - the money only needs to be in the bank 2 months prior and for the month of consideration? It doesn't need to be there after that, until 2 months prior to the next extension?

Qualifications of Thai Marriage Visa
-
Must be married to a Thai national
This is substantiated through a Marriage Certificate (Kor Ror 3) and Marriage Registration (Kor Ror 2). If the applicant got married abroad, the applicant or the Thai spouse must report the marriage to the amphur and obtain Kor Ror 22.
-
Must meet the financial requirement
- Security deposit of THB 400,000 in a Thai Bank Account for at least 2 months prior to the visa application; or
- Monthly income of at least THB 40,000. A letter from the foreigner embassy has to be shown to verify this income
Supporting documents as proof of the security deposit in a Thai bank are as follows:
- Updated bank book or passbook
- Bank letter stating that the money had been deposited to the account from an overseas source for not less than 2 months.
-
Other documents that may be required to be presented:*
- There are instances depending on the immigration office when a copy of an Affirmation of Freedom to Marry is also required. This affirmation is obtained by the foreigner from his foreign embassy in Thailand.
- For the foreign nationals who are unable to obtain income affidavit from their respective embassies, they can show monthly income in a form of 12-month bank statement of their Thai bank account showing monthly deposit of THB 40,000 per month.

I am in Thailand on a Non-O Marriage, with extensions for several years using income from employment with a Thai company (with a work permit).
I plan to change over to use money in a bank account rather than income, basically because the paperwork for showing income from a Thai company is a pain.
I have read that the source of the funds in the bank account has to come from overseas. Is that correct?

Hi All, I am doing a marriage visa extension tomorrow at Chaeng Wattana. Are there any testing / vaccine requirements for entering the building? Both myself and my wife are vaccinated.

No. Apparently rain washed some of the foam retardant away.

Are you asking about applying for a 90 day non-o visa entry or a one year extension of stay based upon marriage?
Appointments are not available for the extension of stay based upon marriage.
Not sure if they are possible for the visa application.
I was asking about the extension of stay for marriage. Looks like I'll have to join the queue nice and early then.

Has anyone tried booking for a Non-Imm O (Marriage)?

I thought they were already building a second terminal to the south of the existing terminal?

No but she has jumped on the bandwagon.
Why wouldn't the Democrats be involved in checking that the recount is done correctly? There is a lot that goes into validating votes that needs people from all sides to verify.

I agree. She should have been smart enough to left well enough alone.
Clinton didn't request the recount.

It is by no means evidence of tampering, though. Why the recount in Michigan? It's all paper ballots there.
It's evidence that something is amiss. I don't know why they're recounting Michigan, but maybe because it's a close result.

There is zero evidence that I've seen reported. Nate Silver, notable and respected statistician, says that demographics (not hacking) explain the election results in those states:
"There’s no clear evidence that the voting method used in a county — by machine or by paper — had an effect on the vote. Anyone making allegations of a possible massive electoral hack should provide proof, and we can’t find any."
http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/demographics-not-hacking-explain-the-election-results/
There is evidence that the voting trends in electorates with electronic machines were different than the electorates with paper based voting. Some people are using demographics to explain that difference, but that doesn't discount that it IS evidence, however weak.

Trump did just fine for his debate with Lying Crooked Hillary. He can now prepare debate two. For an unseasoned non-politician he did just fine! The moderator was one sided, as reported by most media, so heads up and it looks like money is flowing towards the
Trump camp. Debate three will be non-bias with Fox News moderating . Hillary should get some tough questions about emails,
Foundation, and Bengazi! Looks pretty positive for a Trump win in November. The country wants change and Hillary is no Change!
I doubt he'd want to bring up foundations, given that his foundation has been shown to have been paying his legal bills.

Speedo is an Australian brand, almost 100 years old: when did it become American?
It was bought by Pentland, a British company, in the 90's.

he 28-year-old Sharapova said she tested positive for meldonium, which she said she has been taking for 10 years for numerous health issues. Meldonium, thought to be widely used by Russian athletes, became a banned substance this year under the WADA code. Sharapova claimed she didn't notice its addition to the banned list.
-What a load of rubbish. A drugs cheat like so many, and she ought to be banned for life and her winnings/trophies returned.
Why? She won all those tournaments without taking banned drugs. The drug was only banned on Jan 1st this year.

What part of America? He was flying FROM Mexico...
I'm not even going to say it.
That would be the Mexican part of America then, the third largest country on the North American continent.
And Mexico claims its citizens are Americans? Nope. Look at a Mexican passport. It says Estados Unidos Mexicanos. You can even see this simple and widely understood and accepted differentiation on the Thai immigration website, when you go to the pull down menu to do your online 90 day report. US citizens are referred to as "American" and Mexicans as "Mexican."
It wasn't Mexicans or Thais that referred to America. It was a poster that said "that part of Ummmerica".
Last time I checked, Mexico is part of America. Although they aren't part of the United States of America and no one refers to them as American, that isn't what the poster said.

Edit in: There actually is a difference between the two cases. It involves the mothers eligibility.
Surely the difference is that one was born of a US parent on US soil, the other of a US parent on foreign soil.
Apparently the US took this "Natural Born" provision from the UK and have never properly qualified it.
<snip>
There is also an opinion that "natural born citizen" means obtaining citizenship at birth, which Cruz did.
Sigh!
Who's opinion is that?
Natural Born is born in country, that is EXACTLY how the founding fathers saw it when they wrote the constitution. Yes I know it was 250 years ago and nobody had air travel and international passports and times have changed blah blah. But the constitution is almost immovable. The right to bear arms was written a long time ago but when people say, nope it is in the constitution and you are not going to remove or change it, the founding Fathers wrote it and it's good enough for us - well same same, they wrote the bits about 'natural born'. If you hold one bit of the constitution sacred then it all has to be dealt with with the same standard of jurisprudence. Cruz is not an American 'Natural Born', don't beat a dead horse.
The Naturalization Act of 1790:
"And the children of citizens of the United States, that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens".

"He's more conservative than the other candidates."
That's a good reason to hope that he doesn't get elected.
Marriage Extension - Bank Account - Source of funds
in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

OK. Last question, I think.
What type of bank account would you recommend? Given you need to show proof of funds, would a passbook account be better, or an account where you can request statements at the branch?
