It is possible if your wife, your wife's employer/school, and you meet all requirements for an in-country visa application. And if your local immigration office allows.

Your wife needs to talk to her school if they support your visa procedure, as you need support documents from her employer.

She has to be on 1-year extension when you apply for an in-country visa.

You have to have more than days remaining with your entry stamp as a tourist to be able to apply for an in-country visa.

There are far more requirements.

While let her talk with her school, go to the local immigration office for THEIR latest and detailed requirements for an application for an in-country Non-O visa based on a spouse to a teacher with a work permit. There might be different lists depending on the type of school (government, private, etc).

Yes, seasoning is for an extension.

When you want to stay longer with a visa/extension for being married to a Thai, and want to do inside Thailand, you will do:

1. Apply for an initial in-country visa that gives you 90 days stay

2. Apply for a 1-year extension that gives you up to one year

(then repeat 2 after year passes)

Then, about the banked money method,

For 1, you have to have funds of 400K baht in your Thai bank account

on the day of application. No seasoning is required.

For 2, you must have funds of 400K baht in your Thai bank account at least for 2 calendar months as of application day.

That is what you need to ask your local immigration office. Some accept bank letters up to 7 days old such as Bangkok, some offices accept letters dated only the day of application. Others are in-between.

For the transaction record, many accept those issued in advance (as some branch needs time to make a whole 1-year record), with your updated passbook on the day of application (<- that should have records after issuance of the 1-year transaction)

As you are on Non-O, You are going to go to Chaengwattana Immigration office, Government Complex Building B.

You will go here.

@Carmen ****

, you can bounce by air, too. No need to do at land border if you don't prefer.

@Myles ******

, you submit WP documents first, but you can NOT get work permit BEFORE you get Non-B like you said

Submit application for WP and getting WP issued are different/separate procedures

@Myles ******

, the employer has to submit documents for WP permit application for Non-B visa application for an foreign employee, but work permit can NOT be issued until the employer is actually on entry stamp from Non-B visa.

@Myles ******

, not really. WP will NOT be issued until you get Non-B, also you cannot receive WP without proper visa.

@Myles ******

, not totally correct really. Your employer has to submit the application for WP first to get the receipt of application (or pre-approval) <- not actual WP. You apply for Non-B visa with documents from employer including the WP application receipt. Then your WP is issued based on your Non-B, you can get your WP.

You cannot receive your WP without visa/extension that allows holding WP.

It is possible if your employer agrees to support you. You need a bunch of documents from your employer as well as your tax documents. You have to get the detailed requirements list from the local immigration office ASAP and talk with your employer immediately.

They may take time to prepare documents even if they agree to provide them, some have to be obtained from or certified by the government/official departments. Those include company registration, tax documents, etc.

If the current visa itself's validity ("valid until" or "must be used by" date on visa) is 9 December, you may want to consider bouncing for the last time on or before the date.
