My wife did TM30 reporting online. Can we use a screenshot from the online system to show? ????

Hello everyone. I am currently living with my wife in one of her sister's house, and we do not need to pay any rent. One of the requirements for Non-O based on marriage mentions a rental receipt of past 3 months: Since we do not have any receipts to show, is it going to be okay if we submit only a letter by my wife's sister stating she's letting us stay in the house for the next year or so, without rent?

I don't have an account currently, which is why I came here for advice on how and where to open one. At the moment I feel like it will be difficult so I am considering using an agent to help open one, but it will not be the CW branch. Once I have an account opened, I will wire in 400k through WISE, or transfer 400k from my wife's account into my newly opened account (since the advice here said they wouldn't check the source of the money). Do you see anything that could go wrong with this plan? Also, I have to ask again, will I still be able to use the CW branch for the letter of guarantee and updated bankbook?

I am on Tourist Visa but getting married with my to-be wife tomorrow. I will obtain Non-O next. Does this change anything in your advice?

That is such a relief! Honestly, I have been overwhelmed by all these bank requirements, and it's great to know that at least this part of the process will be simple enough. Thank you for your help!

Just wanted to confirm on this: do I need to open my account at that branch to be able to get a letter of guarantee there? Because at the moment my plan is to open an account at another branch.

Thank you everyone for the comments so far. I was reading this part in the Non-O requirements: And have a few further questions: 1) For anyone using the Bangkok Bank, could you ask for the letter of guarantee from any branch or you must go to the branch where you opened an account at? 2) Should I ask the bank to use the date of my appointment at CW in the letter of guarantee then, since it says the letter must be issued and updated to be the same date of the Application? 3) Could someone suggest the best/easiest way for me to get a copy of all entries of my passbook up to date so it is the same date of the application?

Thank you for the swift reply, Joe! I am based in Bangkok. ????

Hello everyone, I'm going to apply for a Non-O based on Marriage soon and have some questions about the bank requirements. If anyone could help shed any light on these, it'd be much appreciated. 1) THB 400K in the bank, does this need to come in from overseas, or I can ask my wife to transfer money from her account into mine? 2) Any recommendations on which bank branches to open an account with, or which agent to use, for someone on a Tourist Visa? Thank you in advance. Edward
