TLDR : Answer Summary

You can get a 12-month extension of stay on a 90-day Non-O family visa, contingent on Immigration Office approval. Alternatively, if you are visiting Thai family on a 90-day Non-O Visa or a 60-day tourist visa and are married to a Thai citizen or have a Thai child, you may apply for a 60-day family extension for visiting Thai family. However, you cannot obtain more than one 60-day family visit extension per entry.

you can enter on a 90-days Non-Imm-O Family visa, get stamped a 90-days stay permit, and on Immigration can get a 60-days extension based on "family visit" for 1900 Baht. Nobody is forcing you to extend your 90-days stay permit into the 1-year Extension of Stay Permit. However before the 90 plus 60 days = 150 days stay permit expires, you need to exit Thailand. You can't get another 60-days "family visit" extension any more - the limit is ONE per entry

However you can only get the "60-days family visit" extension, if your marriage is acknowledged and registered in Thailand. Because Immigration will want to see a freshly on the Amphur printed "Kor Ror 22" marriage registry as proof of a still existing marriage. If you marriage is only registered abroad, you first need to get it acknowledged inside Thailand

yes, exactly. Many people do actually base their 5- or 4 months hibernation along with their Thai wives by these means

For the family VISA, which means a 90 days Non O based on marriage or having a Thai child, you may apply for the regular one year extension of stay OR a 60 days family EXTENSION visiting thai family.

If you’re on a 60 days tourist visa or 60 days visa exemption and also are married to a Thai or having a thai child, you can also apply for a 60 days family EXTENSION visiting Thai family.

Not all Immigration Offices will issue the 60 day Visit Thai Family on a tourism entry stamp so this needs to be checked early

ok then enter VISA exempt for 60 days and forget the 90-day Non O based on family. If you change your mine enter with Non O based on Family and get 12 month Extension 12-months for ฿1900. Then you can have your bank account
