TLDR : Answer Summary

When applying for your NON-O visa extension, you can withdraw below the 400,000 THB requirement as soon as your extension has been officially approved and inked in, which typically occurs after a 30-day under-consideration period. While there is no mandatory requirement to keep the funds in your bank during this period, many people prefer to maintain the balance as a precaution.

There is no requirement to keep the 400K baht banked money for an extension based on marriage in the account once the extension is applied for

You will apply and get a 30 day under consideration stamp and then on that date you go back to get the year extension inked in

Most people keep the funds in the account thru the 30 day under consideration period (just in case) although as I said there is nothing in writing about it.

Sorry got the extension you ere applying for wrong 😕
