ORIGINAL POSTER
A brief report on my visit to Chaengwatthana immigration yesterday. It was a little busier than my previous visit a month ago. Arrived around 13.30, made an update and copies of my bank book and around 14 pm took my queue number. After 25 minutes I had a stamp with the annual extension of my Non-O /thai wife/ visa. Luckily, on April 18, the 90 days report moved back to the Chaengwatthana immigration office. So 2 in 1🙂 Took my queue number for counter A and after another 25 minutes I was ready. A total of about an hour for both reports. So it's not as scary as it seems😉Good luck everyone!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user shared a detailed account of their recent visit to Chaengwatthana Immigration for a Non-O visa extension based on marriage to a Thai spouse. They reported a manageable wait time of about an hour for both the annual extension stamp and a 90 days report, noting improvements since their last visit. A commenter added that those extending their visa based on marriage must return with an updated bank book after receiving an initial stamp before finalizing the year extension.

Thanx for the update, (y)

Remember if you got your extension based on marriage to a thai you got an under consideration stamp and still return with your updated bank book on the date that stamp runs out and go to counter L-2 to get the year extension inked in. 🙂
