Income Requirements For Marriage Visa

[chanwit]

What are the monthly income requirements to apply for a marriage visa?

I'm confused at the conflicting information that I get doing web searches.

Some say 800,000 TB in the bank or 65,000 TN per month income or a mix.

Other searches state 400,000 TB in the bank or 40,000 TB per month or a mix.

That's a big difference. I need to apply for a marriage visa.

I was married to a Thai Lady on Valentine's Day 14 Feb 2009.

I currently have an 1 year NO multiple entry visa that has 6 mos. left on it.

For marreid to a Thai national you would ned to show either an income of 40,000 baht a month or 400,000 in a Thai bank account for at least 2 months prior to applying. In both cases the money has to be yours only.

You will need to bring your wife along, the marriage certificate, her Id and household book, a map to your house and some photo's of you and the misses in and around the house.

Apply within the last 30 days of any permission to stay.

There is no requirement for that.

What you need is a Certificate from your bank certifying your balance if applying based on 400,000 in the bank.

If applying based on Income the Embassy Letter should be sufficient. There is no need for a bank letter. The bank book is enough.

Unless TJAN is dealing with one of those rogue offices that likes to make up their own rules.

As he is from Udon he probably goes to Nong Kai. No need to say more.

[Mario2008]

There is also nothing that says the income has to be 40,000 after tax. It is before tax. At least that is how my embassy declares it, as they can't check the income after tax.

Bank book may not be requireed at all immigration offices. If asked for the letter from should not be needed. There is no requirement to show the 40,000 coming in every month. If they ask for the bank book it should show some transfers and withdrawls no set monthly amount.

Photos and map is required at many immigration offices.

Check with your immigration office to see what they require.

Yes I go Nong kai and just went for the third year and they always treated me well,but in Nong kai you need a letter from the bank and a letter from your embassy about your yearly income before tax.

I never have to show 400.000 bath in the bank.Any way maybe some imigration offices don't need a letter but better safe then sorry if you don't have all the requirements you have to come again.

Closed.

That is exactly what I needed and the Marriage Visa is the next step.

We had to speed up the Marriage Certificate because we are bank financing a new home.

They will only finance 50% and I had to transfer 50% to my Thai bank account to pay out

the 50% in 10 monthly payments.

After having done that they wanted to see marriage certificates before they will loan the

other 50%.

One of the requirements in the Replys was:

"What you need is the following.

2 x Visa form TM 7,filled in with two photo's"

Can I find this TM 7 online and have it filled out before we go to the Thai office?

My wife gripped at me (a little) for not knowing about the Thai form for Farang they gave us at Bang Rak office she had to fill out in Thai. It was basically the same information that had already been translated from the form I received from the U.S. Embassy.

BTW where can I go to beg for the Marriage Visa? I am in Bang Bua Thong, Nonthaburi.

I have a car and know the rail system and the bigger cities probably have handled farang issues before.

Thanks again, Chanwit

You have choice of offices. I guess you can go to the one closest to you. This from the topiic on office assignments.

Foreigners living in Phatum Thani Province, Nonthaburi Province, Chainat Province, Lopburi Province, Saraburi province, Singburi province, Ayutthaya Province and Angtong province can visit either Ayutthaya Immigration, Chonburi Immigration or Nakhon Pathom Immigration offices.

If not one of these then Bangkok may still accept you.
