the only issue I can see with that is having multi entry and both the wife and I would have to the 800k each showing in a Thai bank where as getting the 1 year multi here in the uk she automatically gets an o visa on submission of marriage certificate and as Robert states she can get a 9 month extension to match mine if I understand it correctly

@Robert ******

so if I apply in the uk for a multi entry OA visa and show the 800k in uk bank , submit the marriage license and the wife automatically gets the o visa as my dependent, will her o visa be multi entry the same as mine , and after 45 days in Thailand get hers stamped with the extra 9 months to match mine assume there will be a cost , and will she still be classed as my dependent so will that also be a multi entry , if after 12 months we decide to extend would it be a case of extending mine and getting a new o visa for her then same again after 45 days get hers stamped with the extra 9 months , I realise at that point I would probably have to transfer the 800k to a Thai bank
