If you look at the consulate website (I posted a link to it on page one) it shows the amount in baht. Many embassies and consulates show the amounts in baht due to exchange rates not being constantly the same. "An original bank statement showing deposit amount equal to and no less than 800,000 Thai baht and an original letter of guarantee from the bank" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 400kTHB is a slightly more plausable in the fact that you can spend it. I'm down to the options of single entry non-O, 60 day visa SE, or visa exempt, in the UK. I would grab the muti non-O if you still can. You should ask Trump to have the Thai Gov. to deposit a guarantee bond of $25000 in the US, for every 800kTHB they want locked in a Thai bank for the extended visitors Visas. Does he not like those kinda subjects????. Edited February 19, 2020 by UKresonant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My suggestion for both you and the OP would be to grab a visa exempt into Thailand and then go to Savannakhet and get your 1 year Non-O multi entry based on marriage and that would fix both yours and the OP's problem and there is no financial requirements for that visa at Savannakhet. Savannakhet is the closest easy consulate for the 1 year non-O mutli entry visa. HCMC also issue 1 year non-O multi entry visa's but I believe that there is a little bit of more paperwork there. Ubonjoe would be able to give that extra information as I have only used Savannakhet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP could get a multiple entry non-o visa based upon marriage to a Thai at the consulate in New York, the embassy, or one of the 2 other official Thai consulates in the US. Only $700 (20k baht) needs to be shown in a bank that is required for all visa applications. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell17au Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Tomahawk, the easiest solution for you to be with your wife and child long term in Thailand is to travel to Bangkok either on a tourist visa or on a visa exempt then once you are in Thailand you then travel to Savannakhet, Laos to the Thai consulate there and apply for a 1 year non-O multi entry visa based on your marriage to a Thai national. This visa requires you to leave Thailand (border run) every 90 days and if you do you last border run 2 days before your visa expires then you will get another 90 day stamp which will give you 15 months on that visa but you can also get the last 90 days extended by going to your local immigration office and appyling for a 60 day extension which has now given you 17 months stay in Thailand and then you can do the whole process again. So that means that you bypass the NY Consulate and go direct to Thailand and there is no financial requirements for the 1 year non-O multi entry visa ifrom Savannakhet.

It is just a letter confirming your account is valid and the balance on the day it is written. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
