TLDR : Answer Summary
To apply for a 1-year extension on your Non-O visa after entering Thailand on a 90-day visa, you need to maintain 400,000 Baht in your Thai bank account for at least 2 months. After this 'seasoning' period, you can then submit your application at the immigration office along with the required documentation for a fee of 1,900 Baht.

the 400K baht has to be in a thai bank account in your name only for 2 months before you can apply for the year extension on the 90 day non-O you will enter on

SO once you get here, get the funds in the account as fast as you can. After it's in there 2 months you can apply for the year extension at your immigration office for 1900baht

.

During the time it's 'seasoning' you and your thai wife should go to the immigration office and get the hand out listing all the required documents needed so when it comes time to go do the extension you can pull it off without any problems
