800k or 65k regular income for O visa?
From what I've understood so far there doesn't seem any real advantage to getting visas as a British married couple so I think we'd apply individually and keep our finances separate as well. -

Extension Based on Marriage
A further question regarding the 400K in the bank. It is my intention to change to the income method for my second extension - I will have to have an income of 40k per month to maintain my work permit in any case. However, it has long been my intention to keep a similar figure (£10k) as my 'insurance policy' should I ever have to return to the UK permanently. The intention was to keep the £10k in a UK bank as the interest on Thai accounts is pitiful. I might just though, keep it in a Thai account as a sort of back up should there be any problems with the income method. Does anyone know of a Thai account that pays reasonable interest and is of a type acceptable to immigration? -

Report Court Crushes Petitions: GT200 Fiasco and Prayut's Cabinet Call
GT200. File photo for reference only In a decisive move, Thailand's Constitutional Court has shut down two pivotal petitions. They tackled the infamous GT200 bomb detector mess and scrutinised the former PM, General Prayut, for his choice of Cabinet member. Judgement day saw both cases dismissed without a hint of courtroom drama. GT200 Case Lacks a Bang The first petition, put forward by Colonel Kriangkrai Ladpala, aimed to revisit an earlier verdict concerning the GT200 bomb detectors. These devices were found to be as effective as a twig, sparking legal action against the military officials who bought them. Kriangkrai argued that those officers, allegedly bamboozled by the supplier, shouldn't be left holding the legal bag. Despite this fresh plea, the court remained firm on its previous ruling. With no new evidence to offer, Kriangkrai’s second attempt found itself on the courtroom floor. The court maintained that the legal spotlight shouldn't shift from those who gave the green light for purchase without due diligence. Prayut’s Appointment: A Legal Swing and a Miss The second petition came from the political activist Pirapong Supkitthanakul, who attempted to challenge General Prayut's premiership due to his selection of Thamanat Prompow for a Cabinet position. Thamanat's past criminal conviction for drug trafficking in Australia made waves, and Pirapong leaned on Article 170(4) of the Constitution, claiming this tainted appointment reflected poorly on Prayut's standards. Nonetheless, legal savvy prevailed as the court sidestepped Pirapong’s motion, declaring he lacked the legal muscle to make a complaint under Article 82. The ruling concluded the petition was off-piste and tossed it aside. Judicial Dismissal: No Change in Status Quo In summation, both cases hit a legal dead end with the Constitutional Court's firm rejection. While the GT200 fiasco continues to haunt military purchase history, Prayut's political choices remain unwavered by legal challenges. The judgements uphold a status quo amidst ongoing debates on accountability and ethical governance in Thailand. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Nation 2025-06-06 -
