TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion confirms that it is possible to change a Non-O visa (based on marriage) to a retirement visa while staying in Thailand. It is advised to apply for the retirement extension of stay within 30 days of the Non-O visa's expiration, meeting the necessary financial requirements for retirees.

Thank you!

even if you got divorced you could still use the year-long, multi-entry Non-O until it expired.

Be that as it may, when you have 30 days or less left on any of your 90 day stamps you could apply for a yearly extension of stay based on being over 50 (retirement) by meeting the financial requirements.

it wouldn't mater if you did it before or after you got divorced.

You're on a Non-O visa based on marriage <- the kind you get from a thai consulate in another country and border-bounce every 90 days on right?

OR

Are you on an extension of stay that you got from the immigration office where you do 90 day reporting ?
