Can anyone answer this question for me?

I fly on Friday and my Non O based on marriage has not been issued yet. If it doesn't arrive I then will fly and enter under the visa exemption rule. 

Can I apply for my Non O in Thailand? 

My plan was/is to deposit the money required for a 1 year extension in to a Thai bank account that has been transferred from the UK. 

There seem to be some very knowledgeable people on here that may be able to answer this. 

UK resident applying via E-visa through London. 

Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring if they can apply for a Non-O visa based on marriage after entering Thailand under the visa exemption rule, due to their current Non-O visa not being issued before their flight. A knowledgeable commenter confirms that it's possible to apply for the Non-O visa in Thailand, as long as the applicant has the required 400,000 THB deposited in a Thai bank account, which does not need to be seasoned for the initial application. However, funds must be held for at least two months when applying for the extension.

You can apply for the non O based on marriage in country. You need the 400k deposited in your Thai bank account to do so. There is no seasoning requirement for the initial non O application. Once you get to the stage of applying for the extension it would have needed to be in there for 2 months. You’ll be given a “under consideration” stamp and asked to return on 30 days. It’s recommended that you don’t spend the money during that time as they may well ask you to show funds to get your remaining stamp for the year.
