ORIGINAL POSTER
Hi, I am married to a Thai citizen and I have 2 minor children, I have a non-O marriage visa issued by the embassy. Since this year I have not lived with my wife anymore and I moved to another province with one of my children. I've had 400,000 baht deposited in the bank for years. Can I ask for a one-year extension since my child lives with me, even if I'm not divorced? thank you

That is correct; you do not need to be divorced to get that extension.
