Does it also apply for the extension based on marriage that you have to keep 200k(50% of 400k) the rest of the year?

What happens next if one doesn't keep half the sum till rest of a year?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The 200k requirement only applies to extensions based on retirement, not marriage. For marriage-based extensions, you generally need to have 400k in your bank account two months prior to the application, and some offices may require you to retain that amount for 30 days during the processing period.

NO, the 50% of the balance the rest of the year is ONLY for extensions based on retirement. NOT for ones based on marriage.

Extensions based on marriage using banked money is 2 months before you apply for the extension AND some offices request you keep the 400K baht in the bank during the 30 day under consideration period before you go back to get the year extension inked in
