Today i went to Amnat Charoen immigration to extend my non O visa based on been over 50 . As i talked to the officer i explained to him that i was planning to mary soon and asked if i could change the reason for my extension in a few months or could i have a shorter extension than a year ? Answer are no and no.

Hope this can help others for planning.
Answer summary
A user visited the Amnat Charoen immigration office to extend their non-O visa based on their age of over 50. They inquired about changing the reason for their extension due to an upcoming marriage or obtaining a shorter extension than a year. The officer stated that both requests were not allowed. A comment from another user confirmed that if a reason change is desired (e.g., from retirement to marriage), it must be done at the time of renewal.

Yep, that is totally common, if you're on a retirement extension and want to do a reason change to an extension based on marriage you have to wait until it comes up for renewal and do it then..

only one I've seen them do like that is one going the other way, from marriage to retirement when you get divorced 😮

That's because your extension ends when you signed the divorce decree so they let you apply for a new retirement extension "out of sequence"

what about if you got a job? Could you switch from retirement to marriage, so you could work?

You could but you'd have to wait until the retirement extension was comin up for renewal,

they wouldn't let you change (out of sequence) to marriage because you got a job.

if you wanted to change right away you'd do what Jame said

leave Thailand without a re-entry permit, re-enter visa exempt and start with the Non O Visa as Married and its one year extension of stay as Married.
