I keep getting mixed messages from Immigration in Ranong about the 40,000 per month income and the 400,000 in the account, one time they say the income of more than 40,000 baht per month is ok, next time they say I need the 400,000 in the account, the website says 40,000 income per month, or 400,000 in the bank or a combination, very frustrating.

It is OR not AND.

(6) In case of marriage with a Thai lady, the husband who is an alien must have an average annual income of not less than 40,000 baht per month OR a money deposit in a local Thai bank of not less than 400,000 baht for the past 2 months for expenses within a year.

Yes, that is what the Immigration website says, but the officers at the office keep changing the requirements each time I visit, one time more than 40,000 income, next time 400,000 in the bank.

Just go in to make your application with proof of the 40K income or 400K in the bank for 60 days. They can't change those rules.

That would be my conclusion as an immigration officer 'considering' your visa.

No, but would much prefer it back in our fixed term account rather than a low interest savings a/c

Enter your money into  "YOUR"  fixed term A/c  (not in "OUR")  then you can keep the money entirely in this A/c and gain the additional interests.

Then when applying, bring the bank letter, together with your fixed term A/c booklet to immigration to complete matters without problems.

However, if you do need the money for general daily spending, then keep it in a normal saving A/c. but make sure you have the balance of the required sum at the stated time prior to application.

Why can't you have it in a fixed term account?

You can have it in fixed term account.

I have it in fixed account as well......showed Chiang Mai Immigration the Bank book and got their total agreement.....I guess things are smoothing down lately....

The best way to get a Non-O visa or Non-O visa extension is to obtain one from a Thai embassy abroad. For example, a flight to Bahrain from Thailand takes 7 hours, is not expensive, and you can turn it into a short vacation. Make sure you take your original Thai marriage certificates, proof of relationship (i.e recent dated photos, household bills, driver's licence etc.).Although you will need to show you have an income (i.e bank statement showing regular payments) you do not have to have the 400,000baht in your bank account. This requirement is only for applicants in Thailand.

I hope this helps.
