TLDR : Answer Summary

After obtaining a Non-O visa based on marriage and arriving in Thailand, you should handle your extension of stay through your local immigration office rather than through an e-visa process, which is managed by embassies. Additionally, it's advisable to establish a Thai bank account in your name shortly after your arrival, and you may need a Residence Certificate from Immigration for that.

ff you don't already have one you'll need a Thai bank account in your name only as soon as possible (get a Residence Certificate from Immigration first)

I would also call in at your local immigration office to ask for their list of requirements, as there are sometimes small differences between offices. You do not need an agent, the immigration officers are helpful and all you are doing is providing the information they request. Good luck.

Extensions in Thailand are handled by your local immigration office. Nothing to do with e-visa which is handled by embassies.
