The border crossing are all closed at this time and passenger flights are not allowed into the country.

You will have to wait until at least July to do a run.

At this time you can stay until July 31st under the amnesty.

Many thanks for your help

are there visa runs please

I forgot to mention that my bank account is a deposit account. Does anyone know if a savings account in my name only is acceptable by immigration?

Depending on the type of visa you have, you need to present your bank account when you apply to renew your 1 year visa. This must show that you have the required amount in your account for a period of 3 months before you apply. The bank account must be in your name only and a joint account with your wife is not acceptable.

So, what happens if I die??? How does my wife withdraw the amount in my bank account.? The bank says that you have to go to court on this issue and this can take up to 3 months. Let's say have 2 children form a previous marriage, it is possible that the court will decide that they have an equal share of what is in your account. If that is 400,000 baht ()marriage visa), you wife and children will each receive 133,000.....more if it's a non-immigration visa. This could apply if your children are in their 40's or 50's.

I am given to understand that the law in Thailand is that there will be an equal share and this has been brought about because of the Immigration ruling not because it is something you have done personally.

Does anyone know if Thai immigration will allow for your wife to withdraw the 400.000 from your personal account, which is there because of Thai Immigration, and any access will be shared. Of course, what you should do is ensure you don"t have in excess in your account depending on your type of visa.
