TLDR : Answer Summary
After obtaining your Non-O visa for dependents, you can apply for a one-year extension in Thailand. Yes, you will need to prove that you have 400,000 THB in a Thai bank account in your name again, although some immigration offices may have specific requirements about how long the funds need to be in the account prior to application. Be sure to visit the immigration office in Chiang Mai to get an official list of requirements and remember to apply when you have 45 days or less left on your current visa.

By "just got", you mean you got the visa issued from the thai consulate outside the country, right?

and

by "dependent" you mean supporting a thai child, right?

Yes you have to show the money in a thai bank account in your name only..

keep in mind, even though it doesn't specifically state that you need the funds in the account for 2 months before you apply SOME immigration offices do make you season the funds.

As long as you have a TM30 filed in Chiang Mai at the immigration office you can indeed use that office to get the extension..

make sure you go to the office and get the hand out listing the requirements of the extension based on raising thai child.

Also remember in Chiang Mai you can apply for an extension when you have 45 days or less left on your stamp
