Can I extend my Non-O visa based on marriage at Laksi IT Square, and what are the requirements?

ORIGINAL POSTER
Hi everyone, I am currently on the initial 90-day Non-O visa (expiring March 24th) and am preparing for my first 1-year extension based on marriage. I am planning to walk in on February 25th and have a few questions:

1. Location: Can the 1-year extension for a Non-O (Thai spouse) be processed at Laksi IT Square (Level 3), or is it still strictly handled at Chaengwattana Building B?

2. Appointments: Is Chaengwattana currently allowing walk-ins for marriage extensions, or is the online booking system mandatory?

3. Photos: Are new couple photos (at home/together) required for the extension? We submitted some in late December for the 90-day visa—can we reuse those, or do they need to be fresh?

4. Stamp Timing: When I submit on Feb 25th, does the 30-day "under consideration" stamp start on the submission date (Feb 25), or does it extend from my existing expiry (March 24 to April 24)? I need to coordinate a business trip to Malaysia and want to ensure I get the timing right for my Re-entry Permit.

5. Financials (Seasoning): I deposited the 400k THB on Dec 25th. By Feb 25th (my walk-in date), it will have been in the account for exactly 2 months. Since my visa expires March 24th, will this 2-month seasoning be accepted for this *first* extension, or is there a move toward 3 months now?

Thanks in advance for any recent experiences or advice!

TLDR : Answer Summary
User is preparing for their first 1-year extension of a Non-O visa based on marriage, with a planned walk-in on February 25th. Key questions include the processing location (whether it can be done at Laksi IT Square), if walk-ins are allowed or if appointments are mandatory at Chaengwattana, whether new couple photos are required or existing ones can be reused, when the 'under consideration' stamp starts upon submission, and if a 2-month bank statement seasoning will suffice given the visa expiration date.

1. Cheangwattana Building B.

2. You can walk in to get a queue there, but you will have to wait for many hours.

3. Yes, it is mandatory to submit photos of you and your wife at home (both inside and outside).

4. The new visa will start on March 25th.

5. They still require a bank statement covering two months in advance and showing 400,000 THB in the account before the submission date.
