Hello, if i get a non imm o evisa whilst out of thailand, can i apply for the year extension due to marriage as soon as i arrive in thailand, or do i have to wait until the last month of my 90 day stamp. Thanks.
Answer summary
You cannot apply for a 1-year extension for a Non-Imm O visa immediately upon entering Thailand. The earliest you can apply is about 1.5 to 2 months after entry, varying by immigration office. Some offices allow applications when you have 45 days or less remaining on your stamp, while others allow it at 30 days or less.

Ok, thank you. I am having a hard time getting the 1 year extension as i work away month on month off, so been here at the correct time and having 4 weeks available to not have a passport while immigration keep it is proving difficult.

You cannot apply for a 1-year extension for the same reason as your initial visa immediately after entering Thailand. You have to wait for 1.5 months to 2 months for the earliest application, depending on your local immigration office. Some offices, such as Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, etc., accept extension applications when your stamp remains 45 days or less, while most offices let you apply for an extension when you have 30 days or less.
