ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The individual inquires about arriving in Thailand on a Special Tourist Visa (STV) from Australia, marrying a Thai national, and subsequently applying for a Non-O visa. Responses clarify that STV cannot be converted to another visa within Thailand. It is advised to enter with a Tourist Visa, allowing a stay of 90 days, after which marriage can occur, enabling a subsequent application for the Non-O visa, along with possible extensions for family visits.
