hi

i have a 12 month extension to a non immigrant o visa, based on taking care of dependant child, can anyone tell me how many months i have to have the money in a thai bank account for, and do they have to be complete calender months or certain total amount of days.

Thanks

There is no requirement to have the money in the bank for any period of time.

(5) In the case of a parent, one of parents must have an average annual income of not less than 40,000 baht per month or a money deposit of not less than 400,000 baht for expenses within a year.

If you should prefer to choose to extend your visa based on marriage to a Thai citizen, you will have to deposit THB 400.000 in the bank, and keep the money in the bank for the last 3 months before you can extend your visa for another year. If you extend on 17. December the money would have to be deposited in the bank on or before 17. September etc..

With a 12 month extension based on having a Thai Wife the money has to be in the bank for 2 months.

Based on a Woman having a Thai Husband she does not need money in the bank.

Based on having a Thai Child the money does not have to be in the bank for any set period.
