I've got all the documents needed for the extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai, but was curious if I can use the bank account if it's a joint account with myself and my wife. The money is in a fixed account and has been in there for many years. Does the account have to be in my name only? I searched the ThaiVisa forum for this topic but couldn't come across anything.

Thanks in advance for any answers

It has to be in your name only for 2 months on the date you apply.

The money has to be in a bank acc. in your name only.

I saw it mentioned that the amount was doubled if in joint names, but I'm sure UbonJoe will be along shortly to correct me if I'm wrong

That is only done at some immigration offices for extensions based upon retirement.
