I have a marriage extension (from Jomtien) that expires in November 2024. I used the 400k deposit method to meet the financial requirement. I have done this a couple times already.

For my next extension in November, I would like to change to the THB40,000 per month deposit from a foreign bank. Question: in this situation, how many months would the 40k monthly deposit need to be made in order to qualify for the monthly deposit method? Would it still need to be 12 months?

Not a quirk of your local office....pretty standard across all/most offices.  Consider it immigration policy in implementing the basic requirement of having Bt400K two months before.   At CW (Bangkok) they require the same thing in that you need to show you still have Bt400K in the bank when you come back to get the marriage extension approval stamp--or at least for me last year when I switched from a retirement extension of stay to a marriage extension of stay. 

 

So, when the dust settles you need to plan to have the Bt400K in the bank two months before applying for the extension and then until you the approval stamp about a month after you apply.  Summary: plan on three months of not letting the balance drop below Bt400K.

 

 

I applied for a marriage extension last month on the 20th. Supposed to go back 21st this month to get my passport stamped. But got a call today to go to immigration and show them my bank book. Seemed a bit odd? Guess on 21st will have to show again?

How long after application does the 400k need to remain the the bank?
