I have now managed to get the 400,000 baht into a Thai bank account. We've been to Jomtien immigration to ask about visiting wife visa, which they flatly refused. They said I had to go out of the country. But she spoke to my wife in Thai only so I didn't get the full info. So I think we can fly to Phnom Penh have a couple of days there on a visa on arrival, then fly back to thailand getting a visa exempt. Which we can then extend at Jomtien from 60 to 90 days. She says the money has to be in the account for 3 months. Then we can switch to an O visa/extension based on marriage . Does that all sound correct?

Thanks everyone for your ideas and thoughts. I will look into, either the family visit, or out in method.

Thanks guys for your quick replies

I did search but couldn't find anyone who exactly my problem. For the past 14 years I have been teaching either in Bangkok, usually at weekends, or online from my house in Jomtien. For my extension and work permit address, which has needed to be in the same area as my work, I have been renting an apartment in Onnut. So I have been doing the extensions and work permit in Bangkok. Now my company has decided it does not want to renew my contract this year and told me yesterday. This means I have 6 weeks to switch to a marriage extension (I'm married to a Thai) and I don't have the 400,000 Baht seasoned or even in the country yet. If my financial advisor ever answers his emails I hope to receive it in a matter of weeks. I do get a company pension of just over £1000 but I am from UK so cannot get an embassy letter. Therefore, I need to know whether I have to do a temporary visa by exiting the country or whether there is a way to switch to an extension based on marriage without leaving the country. As i live in Jomtien I also need to move my extension to the Jomtien immigration at the same time, so I can quit the Onnut room and save the apartment rental fees. Please let me know my best course of action as I am a bit flustered by it all. Thank you for your anticipated advice

Well we got to Bamnet Narong in Chaiyaphum. The journey from Jomtien took 11 hours. We found one charger that didn't work (the first time we had used a charger since having our home charger fitted) which was a little stressful. Then I took the wrong way and ended up going toward Pattaya with no obvious u turn. Luckily we came across a ptt station with a totally unused charger not mentioned on any app or on the front sign. This gave us a full chatge in under an hour. Which improved menstrual relations between the two main parties. After charging one more time at a PEA site we got fairly close to our in-law's village. But then surprise surprise we passed a ptt station just 42 kms from our destination on the opposite side of the road that looked like it had a charger. We u-turned and found another invisible charger not on any apps or on the sign. So the moral of the story is to ignore the apps and hope for the best and you'll get there eventually! We're at bamnet Narong with 360 kms of remaining charge and a charger just over 40 kms away.

I wrote an email in English to PEA and they've already replied to say that Chatturat is closed. Great service but terrible news
