Is my plan to switch from a Non-O visa to a 1 year extension based on marriage correct?
Because of the current situation and me being here on a non- multiple entry based on thai spouse i have decided to switch over to 1 year extension instead.
Just want to make sure that what i am planning is correct so i wont end up having to leave the country because of some mistake.
Background: Non o multiple entry visa based on thai spouse that expired in March, did a border hop before it expired and now have a 90 day entry that expires in June.
What I'm planning to do:
In July I will put 400.000 baht into my Thai bankaccount, then go to the immigration office and ask for a 60 day extension based on marriage. That gives me the required 2 months of seasoning the money in the bank. Then i go back to the immigration with required docs and apply for 1 year extension and they will give me a 1 month under consideration stamp and money stays untouched in the bank for a third month.
Is this right?

Summary so far
The user plans to switch from a Non-O multiple entry visa based on their Thai spouse to a 1-year extension. They intend to deposit 400,000 baht in their Thai bank account, apply for a 60-day extension based on marriage, and then seek a 1-year extension after the required seasoning period. However, there is uncertainty regarding applying during the current 90-day stamp and whether using the amnesty period for this transition is advisable.

i would say your next best course of action would be when this 90 day stamp is running out IF the borders are open GO get a new Non-O visa from Savannakhet or HCMC, and if the borders are not open yet, get the 60 day visit thai family extension and pray they open in the next two months after that.
I am just NOT a fan of people using the amnesty IF there are other options for hard stamp extensions available.
Good Luck though, stay safe

It's appears you're going to use the amnesty period to buy the time between when your current 90 day stamp runs out and when you are going to apply for the 60 day visit thai family extension. AND at this point no one knows if you can do that or not :/
Why not move the money AND apply for the 60 day visit thai family extension before this current 90 day stamp is running out and that way you're on "hard stamp" extensions and then apply for the year off of that?
Believe me even though your immigration office might have said there's no problem applying for a visit thai family from the no stamp amnesty NO ONE knows if that's gonna be true or not because what people who take the amnesty have to do when it ends has not been written yet.

I cannot lock down 400k at the moment. We just finished building our house and we are normal people so i need time to siphon money from Europe. This is hard times financially all around the world and I'm still a young guy, i can't pull and lock down that kind at amount with a snap of my fingers.If i knew this pandemic was coming we would ofcourse stopped building last year and still been renting.
